  Abstract:  The contribution of Hannah Arendt to the political and philosophical understanding of human affairs, as well as, the peculiar interrelation of violence, war, power and politics within the in-between realm of speech and action is an undiscovered potentiality in the international field. The author is drawing on conceptual aspects, historical scrutiny, legal origins, (un)masking hypocrisy, critical assessment of major international theories/practices and on the making of a (global) public. Patricia Owens’s Between War and Politics: International Relations and the thoughts of Hannah Arendt is seeking to bring together a diverse literature with a confrontational character for a critically filtered final understanding of not Hannah Arendt, but the buts and whys of international relations through the lens of Arendt’s contributions.
