Tales of Entanglement
Entanglement, and the way people and worlds ‘emerge through and as part of their entangled intra-relating’, becomes nowhere more apparent perhaps than when we tell stories. In telling stories we invoke a reader, a listener, an audience, even if sometimes that audience is within what we call our selves. But stories do more. They draw out the complex and ambiguous mutual constitution of selves with others, of present with past, of person with place…
Virus, Vaccine, and Value in a Curved Universe
Don’t we need to flatten the death rate that results from our differential valuation of human beings? In a curved universe, everyone is both in front of us and behind us, and always within our reach. I want to say that our wealth, our income, and our value accrue to us simply because we are all human beings – parts of a whole. Human beings have a right to life
Why do some people think they know what is good for others?
Some people think they know what is good for others because they believe they know something denied to others. For example, a society that believes it has mastered democracy may feel compelled to aid neighbours that have authoritarian and dictatorial political institutions. Interventions by institutions such as the United Nations, NATO, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and various inter-state alliances provide familiar examples. C…
Modernity’s ear
Kheshti opens her book with an autobiographical moment. While interning at a world music record company, she arrives at an interpretive breakthrough: her investigation of the company’s consumer dat
Narrative Global Politics
This volume harnesses the virtual explosion of narrative writing in contemporary academic international politics. It comprises a prologue, an epilogue, and sixteen chapters that both build upon and diversify the success of the 2011 volume Autobiographical International Relations. Here, as in that volume, academics place their narratives in the context of world politics, culture, and history. Contributors explore moments in their academic lives th…

Gigging on the World Stage
By focusing on the musical styles known as bossa nova and afrobeat, I ask: Given that globalisation/capitalism promotes exchange, borrowing, and imitation, can we make sense of ‘authenticity’? Can we speak of an authentically Brazilian or Nigerian music? If today ‘authenticity’ makes little sense, why is talk about ‘authenticity’ so pervasive? If we expose ‘authenticity’ as reification, do we still need this term? What, then, may ‘authenticity’ m…
On the Perils of Lifting the Weight of Structures
Sajed's and Inayatullah's joint intervention focuses on Hobson's effort to bring forward a notion of non-Western agency as an antidote to the prevailing Eurocentrism of contemporary IR scholarship. They reflect on the stakes involved by constructing a story of an agentic non-Western world co-participant in the past and current world system. They worry that ‘in his attempt to recover Eastern agency, [Hobson] inadvertently plays down the impact (an…
A problem with levels
Though welcome, Cohen's call for exchange across diverse perspectives in international political economy (IPE) evades the question: why have we remained unaware of or insensitive to the diversity that already exists? We follow John Hobson's claim that racism, imperialism and Eurocentrism disallow a western-dominated social science from engaging with diverse viewpoints. We argue further that a disciplinary bias towards a unit-level or atomistic un…
Pulling threads
The achievements of Elizabeth Dauphinee’s (2013) The Politics of Exile are highlighted by means of two juxtapositions. First, Dauphinee’s book invites a contrast to novels because it takes the form of a story. Specifically, Dauphinee’s portrait of the vilified ‘Serbs’ is compared with how the Taliban are treated in Khalid Hosseini’s The Kite Runner and Nadeem Aslam’s The Wasted Vigil. Second, The Politics of Exile is examined as it emerges from D…
Playing on the shores of an imperial pedagogy
I discuss three of my courses. Cuba and Haiti presents three revolutions within integrated and dynamic histories that obliterate the space between inside and outside. Music of the African Diaspora treats students’ reactions to African-derived music as openings in their aesthetic and political sensibility. Seeing War of the Worlds asks why some viewers position themselves as pilots of human-eradicating machines while others experience themselves a…
The Dark Heart of Kindness
The success of norms constructivists rests in part on their assertion of academic activism as a heroic aspect of intellectual life. Critics of this vision, however, insist on the complicity of norm scholars in creating and maintaining processes of global injustice. Frustrated with this criticism, Richard Price calls for answers to a simple question: can detractors go beyond mere criticism and provide a praiseworthy target toward which norms const…

Savage Economics
This innovative book challenges the most powerful and pervasive ideas concerning political economy, international relations, and ethics in the modern world. Rereading classical authors including Adam Smith, James Steuart, Adam Ferguson, Hegel, and Marx, it provides a systematic and fundamental cultural critique of political economy and critically describes the nature of the mainstream understanding of economics. Blaney and Inayatullah construct a…

Autobiographical international relations
International Relations from Below
This article discusses the concept of ‘international relations from below’. ‘International relations from below’ reminds us that conventional international relations — whether structural realist, liberal institutionalist, or constructivist — treats states or groups as parts that are logically independent of the larger systems of capitalism or modernity, and that this methodological device serves political purposes. In the guise of ‘science’, onto…
The Savage Smith and the temporal walls of capitalism
Indian kinship economics, which, I ... understand not as pre-capitalist but as anticapitalist, constitute a powerful and continuing critique of the waste of an expansive, acquisitive capitalism that ... [Europe] could not afford to entertain. The loss in social vision was, and is, incalculable.Eric Cheyfitz
International Relations and the Problem of Difference
International Relations and the Problem of Difference has developed out of the sense that IR as a discipline does not assess the quality of cultural interactions that shape, and are shaped by, the changing structures and processes of the international system. In this work, the authors re-imagine IR as a uniquely placed site for the study of differences as organized explicitly around the exploration of the relation of wholes and parts and sameness…
Neo-Modernization? IR and the Inner Life of Modernization Theory
Since the putative end of the Cold War, modernization is increasingly reimagined as a global process— as an expanding liberal zone of peace, a global civil society, or as emerging forms of global governance. Thus, new forms of modernization theory, what we call neo-modernization, have emerged as important theories of International Relations (IR). Such a convergence of events and theory permit us to examine the logical overlap between IR and moder…

Towards an Ethnological IPE
Theories of spontaneous disorder
Neorealism relies on an unacknowledged and pessimistic reading of the theory of spontaneous order - developed originally by Adam Smith and other thinkers of the Scottish Enlightenment - in order to drive a wedge between action and its intended results. This reading allows neorealists to veil their practical and theoretical commitments to the virtues of anarchy, inequality and hegemony in international society. An examination of theories of sponta…

Towards an Ethnological IPE
Prelude to a Conversation of Cultures in International Society? Todorov and Nandy on the Possibility of Dialogue
Despite post-Cold War enthusiasm about the universalization of values and social and political forms, the sense that the world is beset by a trend toward fragmentation or diversification is now widespread.1 As globalization is now challenged by fragmentation, it has been suggested that international society faces a problem of multiculturalism, even a threat to the idea of an international society itself.2 We see that the fear of multiculturalism …

Realizing sovereignty
Sovereignty has become controversial. The idea and practice of sovereignty are said to be increasingly undermined by the simultaneous transnationalization and localization of political, economic, and cultural space. Not only is the ability of states to control their boundaries gradually erased, but given political boundaries seem unable to account for or define the dynamics of social life. At the same time, sovereignty is indicted as supportive o…
