Dual Migrations in Croatia
This article examines the technopopulist strains of statebuilding in Croatia, drawing on the history, language, and culture approaches in Slavonic studies. Through its exploration of EU migration governance in Croatia, the article discusses the dual migrations of citizens and non-citizens, namely the outward migration of Croatians and the inward migration of migrants and refugees from non-EU states. The article argues that Croatia is finding itse…
Changing European Visions of Disaster and Development
Goethe’s 1832 poem Faust offers a vision of humanity realising freedom and prosperity through transcending natural adversity. Changing European Visions of Disaster and Development returns to Faust as a way of exploring the rise and fall of European humanist aspirations to build free and prosperous national political communities protected from natural disasters. Faust stories emerged in early modern Europe linked to the shaking of the traditional …
Trauma Advocacy, Veteran Politics, and the Croatian Therapeutic State
This article considers international trauma advocacy and Croatian veteran politics. The article begins by discussing international trauma advocacy and therapeutic state legitimation. International trauma advocacy seeks to promote peace, however unwittingly it has legitimized veteran politics antithetical to its ideals. The second half of the article goes on to consider Croatian state legitimation and privileged veteran pensions. The article sugge…
Punishing Childhoods
The article considers childhood corporal punishment as an aspect of the global governance of childhood and raises problems relevant to global governance more broadly. The article analyses contradictions in children's rights advocacy between its universal human rights norms and implicit relativist development model. Children's rights research is influenced by social constructivist theories, which highlight the history of childhood and childhood no…
Weaving Postwar Reconstruction in Bosnia? The Attractions and Limitations of NGO Gender Development Approaches
The article discusses NGO gender development approaches in Bosnia, which seek to empower women and promote peace through handicraft microenterprise. NGO handicraft projects complement consumer capitalism's attractions towards handicrafts and alienation from the industrial production which underpins its conditions. Post-feminist advocacy of handicrafts contrasts with women's writing which historically rebelled against needlework. The article highl…
The Consumerism-Development-Security Nexus
Critics of global governance have been influenced by Foucault’s analysis of modern total institutions disciplining both the mind and the body. However, Foucauldian biopolitics may present global governance too smoothly. This article takes critiques arguing that consumer capitalism’s divorce from industrial production encourages romantic understandings of global problems and applies them to development aspects of the development—security nexus. It…
Refugee Advocacy, Traumatic Representations and Political Disenchantment
Most studies of how refugees are represented focus on negative media representations. Less attention has been paid to sympathetic counter-representations. This article explores the representations preferred by refugee advocacy organizations and how they tend to exclude the mass of ordinary refugees and the difficult arguments required to defend refugee rights. The article outlines the rise of the health paradigm for understanding the conditions o…
Discriminating language rights and politics in the post-Yugoslav states
Pupavac examines the rise of linguistic human rights advocacy and its approach in a case study of language politics in the post-Yugolav states. A core concern of contemporary linguistic rights advocacy has been to tackle ethnically based discrimination and promote ethnic diversity. It does not only seek to prevent states from discriminating against those who speak minority languages. It expects states to take positive steps to preserve their dive…
The politics of emergency and the demise of the developing state
This article discusses humanitarian advocacy in the contemporary world within the wider crisis of political vision. Humanitarian advocacy over the past 15 years, drawing attention to how crises have been precipitated by state policies, has sought international intervention to protect people. It has consequently become associated with challenging the national sovereignty of the developing state. The author contends that the weak state is the probl…
Language rights in conflict and the denial of language as communication
This article examines how the acceptance of subjectively-defined language rights may promote non-communication and exclusion through examining aspects of language politics in the post-Yugoslav states. International linguistic human rights advocates are taking on board subjective definitions of language communities. An international linguistic human rights framework is evolving which requires states actively to maintain linguistic identities. Lang…
Empowering women? an assessment of international gender policies in Bosnia
International policy-making promises to empower women in Bosnia through encouraging their participation in the political process, giving them a voice in civil society and providing enhanced opportunities for economic independence. This essay challenges these claims, suggesting that while a narrow echelon of young middle-class urban professionals have benefited from international gender approaches, the prospects for ordinary Bosnian women have not…
Framing Post-conflict Societies
The article examines the pathologisation of post-conflict societies through a comparison of the framing of the Cambodian and post-Yugoslav states. The notion of failed states fixes culpability for war on societies in question, rendering the domestic populations dysfunational while casting international rescue interventions as functional. The article suggests that the discourse of pathologisation can be understood not as a means of explaining stat…
Human security and the rise of global therapeutic governance
This article discusses the emergence of global therapeutic governance or the influence of social psychology on international development policy. Therapeutic governance links psychosocial well-being and security, and seeks to foster personalities able to cope with risk and insecurity. The article analyses how Western alarm at the destabilizing impact of development eroded its support for an industrialization model of development. The article then …
Psychosocial Interventions and the Demoralization of Humanitarianism
This paper critically analyses from a political sociology standpoint the international conceptualization of war-affected populations as traumatized and in need of therapeutic interventions. It argues for the importance of looking beyond the epidemiological literature to understand trauma responses globally. The paper explores how the imperative for international psychosocial programmes lies in developments within donor countries and debates in th…
International Therapeutic Peace and Justice in Bosnia
During the 1990s international policy highlighted the psychological effect of war on populations and promoted psychosocial programmes to facilitate psychological healing. The rapid rise of concern for war trauma is influenced by the contemporary Anglo-American therapeutic ethos, which analyses political, economic and social issues in terms of cycles of emotional dysfunctions. The article critically examines the development of an international the…
War on the Couch
The emotional state of war-affected populations has become a central concern for international policy-makers in the last decade. Growing interest in war trauma is influenced by contemporary Anglo-American emotionology, or emotional norms, which tends to pathologize ordinary responses to distress, including anger related to survival strategies. The article critically analyses the ascendancy of a therapeutic security paradigm in international polit…
Pathologizing Populations and Colonizing Minds
Through a case study of international responses in Kosovo, this article critically analyses how the international therapeutic model constructs war-affected populations as traumatised and subject to psychosocial dysfunctionalism. The international therapeutic model may be summarised as follows: traumatic experiences cause trauma symptoms producing low self esteem and dysfunctionalism leading to abuse/violence, requiring external intervention to br…
Therapeutic Governance
This paper critically analyses the significance of psycho-social intervention as a new form of international therapeutic governance based on social risk management. First, the paper examines the international psycho-social model and its origins in an Anglo-American therapeutic ethos. Second, the paper argues that psycho-social approaches jeopardise local coping strategies. Third, the paper highlights the potential political, social and psychologi…
Misanthropy Without Borders
The issue of children's rights has become key to human rights-based international security strategies. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989) is being operationalised in complex political emergencies. Children's rights now inform humanitarian principles. Universal concern for children is viewed as transcending political and social divides and able to mobilise societies to confront social problems and prevent war. The operationalisati…
The post‐Yugoslav states
The principle of self‐determination has had a crucial impact on developments in the 20th century and has become fundamental in the organization and legitimacy of international order in the 20th century. Yugoslavia was established as a state when national self‐determination was introduced as a principle in international relations. In many ways, the fate of Yugoslavia parallels the changing approaches to self‐determination. Self‐determination has b…
Cycle of Violence Theories and Conflict Resolution in the Post-Yugoslav States
This paper examines the implementation of non-governmental programs in the post-Yugoslav states. Current conflict resolution initiatives are informed by theories of deviancy and the idea of cycles of violence. The presumption of such programs is that conflict has resulted from a culture of violence. Whilst some non-governmental organisations have expressed doubts about the effectiveness of their peace education work, the reasons for the problems …
