Resumo

Ao adotar a postura filosófica da física do “republicanismo causal”, este artigo aborda a causalidade como uma ferramenta interpretativa para dar sentido às relações entre as coisas no mundo. Embora vários linguistas e filósofos realistas tenham enfatizado a relevância da linguagem para a ciência como uma interpretação do que é real, as explicações filosófico-realistas sobre causalidade nas relações internacionais frequentemente negligenciam a importância da linguagem e da interpretação para fornecer explicações causais. Para justificar o caráter interpretativo da causalidade, este artigo oferece um exemplo de análise realista crítica do poder causal das ideias em um caso de busca por regionalismo, demonstrando que incorporar uma visão republicanista causal em explicações realistas causais pode melhorar a aprimorar a formulação de explicações causais, sem abrir mão de sua concepção de causalidade carregada de pressupostos realistas.
