Precarity in a Black Anthropocene
Precarity has become an important concern in International Relations, driven in part by the crisis of climate change, environmental destruction, and mass extinction. The rise of precarity is increasingly discussed in relation to the critique of modernity and the Anthropocene, as political concern grows about the potential “end of the world.” Building on work in aesthetic politics, and recent discussions in Black Studies, this paper engages with t…
After the end of the world? Rethinking temporalities of critique and affirmation in the Anthropocene
The contemporary era of the Anthropocene has undermined linear views of progress and development. In its wake, alternative futural imaginaries have become central to critical and decolonial accounts in the discipline of International Relations. We argue that radical imaginaries of alternative non-modern futures risk failing to account fully for the ongoing violence and exclusions of modernity. We identify two strands of Anthropocene work: firstly…
The Aesthetics of Peace
Creative and artistic methods are increasingly popular in the study of peacebuilding, as scholars look for new ways to access the experiences and insights of communities in post-conflict societies. This article draws on recent creative peacebuilding work to create a three-point spectrum of aesthetic peacebuilding research approaches, with each point demonstrating an escalating commitment to creative approaches. The argument shows how deeper commi…
Justice 'to Come'? Decolonial Deconstruction, from Postmodern Policymaking to the Black Horizon
This article explores the importance of what we call 'decolonial deconstruction' for contemporary global politics and policy discourses and develops a critique of this approach. 'Decolonial deconstruction' seeks to keep open policy processes, deconstructing liberal policy goals of peace, democracy, or justice as always 'to come'. It emerged through a nexus of postmodern and decolonial framings, well represented in the critical Black studies tradi…
Critique and the Black Horizon
In the contemporary moment of the Anthropocene there appears to be a growing consensus on the need to move beyond the key modernist binary, the Human/Nature divide. We draw out a shared understanding at work in International Relations across critical approaches in Science and Technology Studies (STS), new materialist, and material feminist fields, as well as critical Indigenous, decolonial and pluriversal thought. This is an understanding that se…
The Global Politics of African Identity
This paper uses the 20th anniversary of the founding of the African Union (AU) to examine the role of race and identity in Pan-Africanism, from the perspective of International Relations (IR). Pan-Africanism played a crucial role in the decolonization of the African continent and remains the ideological basis for the AU, which leads on issues of continental governance. The paper examines the development of Pan-Africanism, and foundational ideas o…
Introduction
Long considered peripheral to both international affairs and the discipline of international relations (IR), Africa is increasingly at the center of global politics and academic debates. Global powers are competing for economic, political, and strategic influence on the continent, while Africa itself has emerged as an increasingly powerful and confident actor on the world stage. In large part, this is due to the leadership of the African Union (A…
Another decolonial approach is possible
This article analyses important trends in contemporary decolonial approaches in the field of international studies and, drawing on recent work in critical Black studies, seeks to highlight some of the limitations in their assumptions. Anthropologically informed decolonial approaches argue for a pluriversal approach, where multiple ‘worlds’ can coexist, whilst sociologically grounded critiques seek to develop the field of international studies thr…
The Black Horizon
This paper makes the case for an approach to International Relations in the Anthropocene, which draws upon resources from critical Black studies. This distinctive perspective is set out in comparison to two, more familiar, sets of critical Anthropocene thought, that have been influential in contemporary discussions of global politics. We heuristically frame these as the “Planetary” - a focus on ontology and vibrant and unruly materiality – and th…
A call for abolition
We offer a rejoinder to Security Dialogue’s call for reparative work on race and racism in Critical Security Studies, questioning the ability of a discipline at the heart of an Antiblack world, to engage in truly reparative practices. The attempt to incorporate questions of race and racism into the discipline requires a disavowal, as it denies that Critical Security Studies emerged from and is embedded in systems, structures and institutions of p…
