The consolidation dilemma in European order transformation: theorising endogenous pathways to the contestation of liberalism Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2024-03-29 Kazushige Kobayashi
Existing research on the contestation of the liberal order predominantly focuses on the corrosive effects of exogenous spoilers or the peculiarities of anti-liberal politics in domestic contexts. Yet, we know little about how the internal evolution of orders affects their long-term viability. As a first step towards developing an endogenous theory of international order transformation, this article

Hegemony and the dynamics of power: a Gramscian update for the study of power in IR Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2024-02-05 Ivan Bakalov
The study of power in IR has produced insightful typologies, but the persisting paradigmatic divisions induce problems that stifle further progress. The fungibility problem concerns the missing links between the categories in the typologies as well as between typologies. The fragmentation problem arises from the difficulties of analysing diffuse agency. This article proposes a closer dialogue with

Aid for taxation and representation? The effect of foreign tax assistance on democracy in the Global South Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2024-01-04
Abstract Can foreign aid foster democracy? This is a foundational question debated in development studies and donor circles. Within this debate, some scholars argue that aid is detrimental to democratic institutions via an aid curse. The foil to this aid curse, namely that taxation fosters representation, inspires much comparative political economy research. We bring these fields together and approach

Global dialogues during the Russian invasion of Ukraine Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2023-11-06 Kseniya Oksamytna
Commendable efforts to include Ukrainian researchers in academic debates on the Russian invasion of Ukraine nevertheless reflect knowledge hierarchies that characterise contemporary academia, which is compounded by the difficulties that scholars face when they study violence in their own communities. On a practical level, Ukrainian researchers were busy performing the physical work of surviving or

The role of citizens’ affective media practices in participatory warfare during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2023-11-04 Tetyana Lokot
This article, grounded in virtual ethnographic observations during the first sixteen months of Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine, examines the role of personal stories, testimonies, and other communicative acts of Ukrainian social media users in the digital realm, their place in the process of knowledge production, and the value and authority they hold in the context of participatory warfare

The normative security dilemma in making sense of the Kremlin Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2023-11-02 Joakim Brattvoll
Since Russia’s warfare against Ukraine began in 2014, there has been an increasing tendency within NATO-countries to pinpoint and bundle together internal ‘enemies’ with one external enemy: Russia. This conflation of science and politics may confront scholars with what Huysmans (2002) calls the ‘normative security dilemma of writing security’: when scholars sensitive to how ‘security talk’ can have

How and when should we (not) speak?: Ethical knowledge production about the Russia–Ukraine war Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2023-10-03 Marnie Howlett, Valeria Lazarenko
Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine poses significant challenges for researchers from diverse academic traditions. On one hand, the reactions of various societies to the unfolding events require immediate consideration and conceptualisation. On the other, the conflict poses significant ethical and methodological difficulties due to its sensitivity and the positionality of researchers interested in

The Ukrainian subject, hierarchies of knowledge production and the everyday: An autoethnographic narrative Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2023-09-16 Bohdana Kurylo
Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine has exposed the dire lack of Ukrainian perspectives and the harmful presence of decontextualised analyses of the war in IR and related disciplines. This contribution contemplates the ways in which we could make the study of the war more attuned to the knowledges and agency of ordinary Ukrainians. It begins by identifying the epistemological, ontological and methodological

Armed to the Tweet: social media and the war in Ukraine: shaping narratives of self-understanding and self-determination Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2023-09-16 Alina Penkala, Ilse Derluyn, Ine Lietaert
All wars create narratives that give societies the ability to imagine and be imagined. In the ongoing war in Ukraine, such narratives have been a crucial component of self-identification, justification, motivation and defiance in the current battle for Ukraine. Moreover, the war in Ukraine illustrates how social media influences those narratives, and how the war is reported on, experienced and understood

How individuals shape informal institutions: Analyzing contending norm promotion in the Global South Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2023-09-15 Michal Kolmaš, Šárka Kolmašová
Why do some actors possess more leverage to diffuse norms than others? Although it is often assumed that norm diffusion simply ‘happens’ through the interaction of political and cultural systems, we argue that individuals and institutional flexibility play a crucial role in the success and failure of norm diffusion. Analyzing the contending interpretation and diffusion of the Common but Differentiated

Compartmentalised diplomacy in the United Nations Security Council: breaking the impasse Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2023-09-15 Thomas Dörfler
This article explores how compartmentalised diplomacy, defined as the compartmentalisation of a comprehensive set of previously linked issues into separate but gradually and substantively expanding issues, helps forge an agreement on contested issues among member states in the United Nations Security Council. Based on a strategic bargaining framework, the article argues that subtracting issues from

Crisis narratives and institutional resilience: a framework for analysis Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2023-09-14 Anne-Laure Mahé, Stéphanie Martel
The term ‘resilience’ is widely used in current analysis of world politics to refer to a situation where institutions surprisingly sustain themselves against otherwise dire prospects. Yet, discussions of institutional resilience tend to underappreciate its dynamic character. This article proposes a reconceptualization of institutional resilience that centers the productive power of crisis. It argues

The limits of critique: responses to the war against Ukraine from the Russian foreign policy expert community Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2023-08-30 Alexander Graef
The war in Ukraine represents a significant turning point in the evolution of Russia’s foreign policy expert community. This essay examines how Russian experts perceive the war and its consequences, taking into consideration the influence of state censorship and repression on their practices. It explores the limited ability of experts to shape Russia’s conduct of war and the moral choices they face

Central European subalterns speak security (too): Towards a truly post-Western feminist security studies Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2023-08-27 Míla O’Sullivan, Kateřina Krulišová
Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) has long been epistemically marginalized in many academic disciplines, including the Western-centric Feminist Security Studies (FSS). While there is growing FSS literature from/on locations beyond the ‘Global North,’ scholarship from/on CEE is relatively absent in these conversations. When CEE is discussed, it is limited to critique of a region plagued with racism,

Normalize and rationalize: Intellectuals of statecraft and Russia’s war in Ukraine Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2023-07-31 Andrey Makarychev, Ryhor Nizhnikau
This contribution to the Forum seeks to discuss the epistemic and genealogical conditions that frame the unfolding of a set of academic discourses aimed at - more implicitly rather than explicitly - normalize and rationalize Russia's military intervention in Ukraine. First, we identify the process of understanding the Russian invasion on the example of dominant discourses. Second, we outline social

What my body taught me about being a scholar of Ukraine and from Ukraine in times of Russia’s war of aggression Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2023-07-25 Darya Tsymbalyuk
In this piece I examine the relation of Russian colonialism and coloniality to knowledge and knowledge-making, and question what it means to be a scholar from Ukraine and a scholar of Ukraine based in a western academic institution at times of Russia's war on Ukraine? Critiquing hierarchies of knowledge production, I call for re-centering ‘knowledge that comes from suffering’, as theorised by hooks

Explaining suspicious wealth: legal enablers, transnational kleptocracy, and the failure of the UK’s Unexplained Wealth Orders Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2023-07-13 John Heathershaw, Tom Mayne
Unexplained Wealth Orders, introduced in the United Kingdom in 2017, were designed to tackle the problem of transnational kleptocracy. However, our research on real estate purchases in the UK by elites from post-Soviet kleptocracies demonstrates that incumbent elites are invulnerable to attempts to question the legality of their wealth while exiles from these states often lose their property. From

‘We are at war’: Reflections on positionality and research as negotiation in post-2022 Ukraine Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2023-07-13 Vera Axyonova, Katsiaryna Lozka
This article presents reflections from hybrid research on expert knowledge production in Ukraine, conducted by the authors in the first year after the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion. Relying on reflexive interviews with representatives of Ukrainian think tanks, our study examined the impact of the war on the roles of Ukrainian experts as knowledge producers and opinion makers in domestic and

Stratification gone awry: system rigidity, agency restraint and tiered membership in intergovernmental organizations Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2023-05-08 Sebastian Knecht
The international state system, like all social systems, is permeated by hierarchical relationships sorting societal members into systems of institutionalized inequality. Recent scholarship has produced an impressive record of the varieties, mechanisms and outcomes of inequality production in international society. Less understood is how hierarchies inside intergovernmental organizations (IGO) become

One hundred years of authoritarian practices: United Fruit and its banana plantation workers Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2023-04-20 Marlies Glasius
The statist focus of comparative politics has withheld from view the ability of powerful actors such as transnational corporations to engage in authoritarian practices on their own initiative, in different alliances, regardless of the national regime type in which they find themselves. Focusing on plantation-level interactions, this article analyses how the United Fruit Company and its successor companies

Twinning and development: a genealogy of depoliticisation Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2023-04-15 Holly Eva Ryan, Caterina Mazzilli
One of the latest methods being trialled across the development sector to help advance progress towards achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is ‘twinning’. In this equation, twinning is rendered as a broadly replicable methodology for improving development outcomes, with a particular emphasis on building up human resources and technical capacity within governments and national bureaucracies

State capture and development: a conceptual framework Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2023-03-23 Elizabeth Dávid-Barrett
This article argues that the concept of state capture helps to structure our understanding of patterns of grand corruption seen around the world in varied contexts, and increasingly even in countries once regarded as secure democracies. This article seeks to lay the groundwork for future empirical research into state capture in three areas. First, it situates the concept within a wider literature on

Resilience, gender, and conflict: thinking about resilience in a multidimensional way Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2022-10-19 Ana E. Juncos, Philippe Bourbeau
Resilience has become an oft-invoked concept in development and security policy circles and the subject of much debate in the literature. Yet, one aspect that needs to be further theorised is the complex relationship between resilience, conflict and gender. This introduction identifies the gradual congruence between the programmatic agendas of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 (UNSCR

‘We speak over the phone almost dailyʼ: routinisation as an overlooked source of pacification in the Western Balkans Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2022-10-16 Miroslava Kulkova
This article provides an in-depth assessment of the peaceful change in the Western Balkan relations between the years 1999 and 2011 that happened despite weak internalisation of norms and unsuccessful democratisation. It argues that the logic of habit and the creation of new routines of interactions are the crucial missing piece in this puzzle. New routines reduced uncertainty about intentions of former

Radicalising resilience: mothering, solidarity, and interdependence among women survivors of war Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2022-09-27 Marie E. Berry
As the concept of resilience has expanded in the social sciences, critics have lamented its neoliberal undertones. Programming focused on women affected by war is often structured around cultivating individual women’s strength and leadership, positioning women as sources of stability whose adaptability helps make their communities ‘more resilient’. Yet thinking of resilience as an individualised outcome

The LIO’s growing democracy gap: an endogenous source of polity contestation Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2022-09-21 Christian Kreuder-Sonnen, Berthold Rittberger
The Liberal International Order (LIO) is under pressure from various angles. To account for this phenomenon, a recent trend is to focus on endogenous sources of contestation—institutional properties of the order that create negative feedback effects. In this article, we seize on and extend an endogenous explanation centring on the LIO’s political structure and institutional design. While existing research

Resisting issue-linkage: social standards and Australian trade agreements Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2022-09-19 Evgeny Postnikov, Lachlan McKenzie
Free trade agreements (FTAs) have become the main vehicle of trade liberalisation. Both North-South and South-South FTAs increasingly go beyond the removal of trade barriers and link free trade with social standards, including labour and environmental provisions. Australia has been at the forefront of bilateral trade liberalisation, signing multiple FTAs, but conspicuously avoided incorporating social

(Gendered) resilience in community-based natural resource management in fragile and conflict-affected settings Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2022-09-19 Caitlin Ryan
In so-called ‘fragile and conflict affected settings’ there is an increased focus on strengthening local governance systems for natural resource management as a means of conflict prevention. As exemplified in the World Bank ‘Pathways for Peace’ agenda and the UNEP report on Conflict and Natural Resource Management, this is framed in relation to ‘resilience.’ These reports conceptualise resilience as

Stimmung and ontological security: anxiety, euphoria, and emerging political subjectivities during the 2015 ‘border opening’ in Germany Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2022-09-19 C. Nicolai L. Gellwitzki
This article draws on Heidegger’s notion of Stimmung (mood, attunement, atmosphere) to further develop the study of public moods in IR. To that end, it synthesises two recent developments in ontological security studies (OSS), the decentred Deleuzian approach that emphasises the role of affective environments in subjects’ sense of and search for ontological security and Heideggerian readings of anxiety

An international responsibility to develop in order to protect? A responsibility too far Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2022-08-09 Adrian Gallagher
The Responsibility to Protect (RtoP) norm has a controversial relationship with development which has led to divisions between both academics and governments. The article differentiates between three camps: minimalist, middle ground, and radical, whilst arguing that the debate is hindered by the lack of data on this specific issue. Helping to address this lacuna, the article puts forward the first

The gender-resilience nexus in peacebuilding: the quest for sustainable peace Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2022-07-29 Karin Aggestam, Linda Eitrem Holmgren
Resilience and gender have become new buzzwords for expressing renewal in peacebuilding. This article unpacks the gender-resilience nexus in theory and analyses global trends and variation in peacebuilding policy and practice. It advances an analytical framework based on three central pillars of peacebuilding: process, outcome, and expertise. A comprehensive analysis of 49 international peacebuilding

Resistance as resilience: negotiating gendered contours in conflict and trauma Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2022-06-07 Lydia Gitau
This article examines the experiences of women survivors of trauma in conflict situations and how they negotiate the gendered aspects of their experiences. I argue that survivors’ responses to the conflict and its consequences can be seen as resistance. Understood as a form of resilience, this practice of resistance opens up opportunities for envisioning and working towards peacebuilding after mass

Narrative time and International Relations Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2022-04-20 Benedikt Franz
Telling a story can explain how an event came about. It can thereby also change how we grasp temporality. In this article, I will discuss Paul Ricœur’s notion of ‘narrative time’ in the context of International Relations. Viewed from this perspective, narratives not only explain, but also mediate two ways of understanding time, phenomenological and cosmological, by weaving experienced time and natural

Technocracy that fails: a Czech perspective on the EU Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2022-04-16 Petr Drulák
The migration crisis of 2015/2016 deepened a major fault line inside the EU, the one between its Western part and its new members from Central and Eastern Europe. Analysing the case of Czechia this article points to the role of politicisation and technocracy in this split. It is argued here that technocratic ideas and practices are deeply rooted in the Czech public life and that a technocratic symbiosis

Foreign aid donors, domestic actors, and human rights violations: the politics and diplomacy of opposing Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Act Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2022-02-28 Niheer Dasandi
How should aid donors respond to human rights violations in ‘recipient’ countries? Much of the literature on this topic focuses on whether donors use aid conditionality rather than the effectiveness of different donor responses in preventing rights abuses. This article argues that to better understand the effectiveness of conditionality, and donor responses to rights violations more generally, it is

The public as an audience for the securitisation of climate change: facilitating conditions at the identification stage Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2022-02-26 Defne Günay, Gizem Arıkan
The literature on the emergence of climate change as a security problem notes the lack of studies of audiences that enable the successful construction of climate change as a security issue. While previous studies consider different types of audiences, we focus on public opinion, which provides moral support for securitising moves, to investigate what individual and country level conditions facilitate

When mass atrocities are silenced: Germany and the cases of Yemen, South Sudan, and Myanmar Journal of International Relations and Development (IF 1.333) Pub Date : 2022-02-24 Robin Hering, Bernhard Stahl
Contrary to the common promise of the UN Charter, mass atrocities continue to be committed as the wars in Yemen and South Sudan or the fate of the Rohingya in Myanmar demonstrate. Using Germany as an example, this article examines the thesis that mass atrocity situations are silenced which inhibits their politicisation. Drawing on interdisciplinary literature on silencing and theoretical approaches
