Abstract
The main claim of this article is that epistemic communities, by controlling knowledge, possess and exercise decisive power in the «interaction game» of the construction of the world politics reality. The logic of this argument is as follows: Social reality is produced and reproduced through social interactions. In this «game» of interactions not all the «players» have the same role and power. As long as reality is mainly knowledge about this reality, those players who posses and control knowledge have a dominant role in the game.
