While there is increasing recognition of the role of race in shaping global politics, the extent to which the construction and operation of international order is entangled with race remains underexplored. In this article, I argue for the centrality of race and racialization in understanding the constitution of international order by theorizing the constitutive connections between race and international order and showing how the two can be examined as intertwined. I do this, first, by articulating conceptualizations of both international order and race that center on processes of regulation and regularization. Second, I bring these together to suggest that race be understood as a form of order that functions to reproduce a historically emergent form of hierarchy and domination across a range of spaces and contexts. Third, I operationalize these conceptualizations by outlining and historicizing some of the key features of this racialized and racializing international order, specifically coloniality, the racial state, and racial capitalism, and thereby illustrate important aspects of the persistence of this order. Centering race in the study of international order, I suggest, helps us better understand how racializing hierarchies and racialized inequalities persist in the present and are reproduced through structures and practices of international order.

尽管人们越来越认识到种族在塑造全球政治中的作用，但国际秩序的构建和运作与种族的纠缠程度仍未得到充分探讨。在本文中，我通过对种族与国际秩序之间的构成性联系进行理论化，并展示如何将两者视为交织在一起来审视，从而论证了种族和种族化在理解国际秩序构成中的中心地位。首先，我通过阐明以监管和正规化进程为中心的国际秩序和种族的概念来做到这一点。其次，我将这些放在一起，建议将种族理解为一种秩序形式，其功能是在一系列空间和环境中重现历史上出现的等级制度和统治形式。第三，我通过概述和历史化这种种族化和种族化国际秩序的一些关键特征（特别是殖民性、种族国家和种族资本主义）来操作这些概念，从而说明这种秩序持续存在的重要方面。我认为，以种族为中心的国际秩序研究有助于我们更好地理解种族化的等级制度和种族化的不平等如何在当前持续存在，并通过国际秩序的结构和实践得以再现。
