How academic podcasting can change academia and its relationship with society: A conversation and guide
In this paper we explore the potential of academic podcasting to effect positive change within academia and between academia and society. Building on the concept of “epistemic living spaces,” we consider how podcasting can change how we evaluate what is legitimate knowledge and methods for knowledge production, who has access to what privileges and power, the nature of our connections within academia and with other partners, and how we experience…

Unpacking dynamics of diverse nested resource systems through a diagnostic approach
The social–ecological systems (SES) framework (Ostrom 2009, Science. 325(5939):419–22) typologically decomposes SES characteristics into nested, tiered constituent variables. Yet, aligning the framework’s concepts of resource system (RS) and resource unit (RU) with realities of individual case studies poses challenges if the underlying SES is not a single RS, but a mid to large-scale nested RS (NRS). Using a diagnostic approach, we describe NRSs—…
The war in Ukraine
This short article offers some tentative suggestions about how the history of the Cold War and its aftermath as experienced by Central and Eastern European states may inform our understanding of the current war in Ukraine. In doing so, this contribution has no pretensions to be either final in its suggestions nor exhaustive in considering the rich literature about Central and Eastern Europe’s political, economic, social and cultural \nCold War ex…
Care-based leadership in a core-periphery network: A South African case study in collaborative watershed governance
Considering increasing water insecurities related to climate change, there is a growing need for effective collaboration across core-periphery boundaries to restore and regenerate watershed vitality. It has been demonstrated that collaborative watershed governance is effective when there is a core group engaging in boundary acting, fostering interpersonal relationships, exchanging information, and sharing activities amongst stakeholders across a …

Emergent learning outcomes from a complex learning landscape
Institutions of higher education play an important role in training citizens who can thoughtfully and critically make decisions that impact the sustainability of our planet. While researchers have determined competencies that students need as environmental and sustainability professionals, less is understood about how to achieve these outcomes within complex learning environments, such as experiential learning settings. We apply a learning landsc…
E. H. Carr, Chatham House and Nationalism
A great deal has been written about the intellectual sources of E. H. Carr's most famous book in International Relations, The twenty years’ crisis, published on the eve of the Second World War. However, very little attention has been paid to the contribution which Chatham House made to the book after having appointed Carr to chair a study group on ‘Nationalism’ in 1936. The volume which appeared three years later was not the most scintillating of…

Power, structural power, and American decline
Over the past twenty years, debates surrounding American power have oscillated between celebrations of empire and laments of decline. What explains such wild fluctuations? This article argues that the power shifts debate rests on an underpinning concept of power based around relative capabilities that is theoretically not fit for purpose. We propose instead an approach to power shifts that locates power primarily in structural power. In doing so …

A gilded trap in Dominican rice farming
Beyond 1917: The United States and the Global Legacies of the Great War, ed. Thomas W. Zeiler, David K. Ekbladh and Benjamin C. Montoya
If one happens to have been born in Europe, it is almost impossible to escape the First World War. Go to any small village in France or any town square in Britain and look at the memorials there and you soon get a sense of the loss and the impact which the war had on these two countries. The war is also annually commemorated, no more movingly perhaps than in Great Britain on the nearest Sunday to 11 November when the Cenotaph along Whitehall in L…
Nationalism, nations and the crisis of world order
One hundred years ago, the first Department of International Politics was established at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, with the express purpose of seeking in Arnold Toynbee’s prophetic words (uttered many years later) – of breaking decisively with the ‘habit of nationalism’. As David Davies in the founding statement put it, by moving beyond ‘insular and vested prejudices ... the shattered family of nations’ could be brought back t…

Introduction: US foreign policy—past, present, and future
This work examines how domestic politics and culture shape US foreign policy, with particular emphasis on the role of institutions and processes. It considers the ways in which pressure groups and elites determine influence what the United States does abroad, the importance of regional shifts and media and their impact on the making of US foreign policy, and US relations with Europe, the Middle East, Russia, the Asia-Pacific region, Latin America…

Depth, persistence, and timing of poverty and the development of school readiness skills in rural low-income regions: Results from the family life project
Mother–child role confusion, child adjustment problems, and the moderating roles of child temperament and sex
Role confusion is a deviation in the parent-child relationship such that a parent looks to a child to meet the parent's emotional needs and abdicates, in part, the parental role in exchange for care, intimacy, or peer support from the child. In addition, a child may initiate role-confused behavior in order to gain closeness to a parent who is otherwise preoccupied by his or her own needs. The current study examined associations between mother-chi…

Bringing in the 'international: The IRA ceasefire and the end of the Cold War
This article argues that the IRA ceasefire of 31 August 1994 represented a major turning-point in Irish history. However, it insists that the discussion about the ceasefire has thus far been too narrowly conceived. In particular, it suggests that the IRA decision was not just the result of factors internal to Ireland, but was also a reflection of changes in the wider international order: especially those brought about by the end of the Cold War. …
Missing ecology: Integrating ecological perspectives with the social-ecological system framework
The social-ecological systems framework was designed to provide a common research tool for interdisciplinary investigations of social-ecological systems. However, its origin in institutional studies of the commons belies its interdisciplinary ambitions and highlights its relatively limited attention to ecology and natural scientific knowledge. This paper considers the biophysical components of the framework and its epistemological foundations as …

Understanding Disturbances and Responses in Social-Ecological Systems
Current research in coupled social-ecological systems (SESs) often draws on theories of complex adaptive systems, resilience, and robustness. Many studies analyze the resilience, robustness, or vulnerability of these systems to disturbances and stressors, but do not connect their particular case with a general notion of what counts as a disturbance. This makes theoretical generalization of how outcomes are coproduced by disturbances and SESs diff…
Beyond the West: Terrors in Transatlantia
One of the least expected but most significant events of recent years is that which led to a profound crisis in the transatlantic relationship. The argument advanced here is that the split between a number of European states and the United States of America not only casts doubt on the idea of the ‘West’ but also brings into question various liberal theories of international politics that suggest that the two regions are so bound together by ideol…

Power Shifts, Economic Change and the Decline of the West
It has become the new truth of the early twenty-first century that the Western world we have known is fast losing its pre-eminence to be replaced by a new international system shaped either by the so-called BRICs comprising Brazil, Russia, India and China, the 'rest', or more popularly by that very broadly defined geographical entity known as Asia. This at least is how many economists, historians and students of world politics are now viewing the…
Empire, imperialism and the Bush doctrine
It is an empire without a consciousness of itself as such, constantly shocked that its good intentions arouse resentment abroad. But that does not make it any the less of an empire, with a conviction that it alone, in Herman Melville's words, bears ‘the ark of liberties of the world. If all history according to Marx has been the history of class struggle, then all international history, it could just as well be argued, has been the struggle betwe…

Fathers' Early Emotion Talk: Associations With Income, Ethnicity, and Family Factors
Contextual, mother-, child-, and father-level variables were examined in association with fathers' emotion talk to infants during a shared picture book activity, in an ethnically diverse, low-income sample (N = 549). Significant main effects included the rate of emotion talk from fathers' romantic partners (i.e., the infant's mother), infant attention and distress, and sensitive parenting. Significant interactions were also found. Higher income A…

The Rise and Fall of the ‘Soviet Threat
Whatever happended to the ‘Second’ Cold War? Soviet—American relations: 1980–1988
During his eight years in office Ronald Reagan attempted not only to dominate the US political scene but to establish a clear neo-conservative agenda for the American nation. When he came to power he had two main objectives. The first was to roll back the hand of government, for as he put it, ‘the ills of a nation stem from a single source: the belief that government... has the answer to our ills’. The second was to rebuild America's position in …
Western intelligence, the Soviet threat and NSC-68: A reply to Beatrice Heuser
In her article on the early history of the Cold War, Beatrice Heuser throws out at a challenge to those of us who have, over the past few years, cast doubt upon the idea that the USSR represented a serious military threat to the West after the Second World War. Basing her argument upon ‘American intelligence estimates’ as well as other sources, she attempts to show that Western policy-makers, hither to much criticized by many academic analysts fo…

The United States and the end of the Cold War: Implications, reconsiderations, and provocations
Rethinking the End of The Cold War
Like nuclear weapons, the literature on the end of the Cold War continues to proliferate. Much of this work it has to be said has been limited in its depth (if not range) by the simple fact that the structure of the new international order has yet to assume a finished form. Writing meaningfully about a constantly evolving subject is no easy undertaking. There is also the added problem of perspective. In many ways we are still living too close to …

Cinderella at the Ball: Explaining the End of the War in Northern Ireland
Introduction: The Eighty Years' Crisis
It is fitting that Carr's The Twenty Years' Crisis should be the point of departure for the first Special Issue of the Review of International Studies. One of the earliest appraisals of Carr's contribution to international relations appeared in the very first issue of the journal of the British International Studies Association.1 More recently, by publishing the annual E.H.Carr memorial lecture, the Review has been partly responsible for the Carr…
Thinking ‘Globally’ about Peace in Northern Ireland
Though many in Britain and Northern Ireland remain highly sceptical about the longer term intentions of the Provisional IRA, it is clear that its ceasefire of August 1994 represented a major turning-point in Irish history. The nature of the IRA decision however remains shrouded in controversy – made all the more controversial of course by its resumption of military activities followed eighteen months later by the announcement of another ceasefire…
Introduction: The Interregnum controversies in world politics, 1989–99
The shock waves of what happened in 1989 and after helped make the 1990s a peculiarly interesting decade, and while all periods in history are by definition special, there was something very special indeed about the years following the collapse of the socialist project in the former USSR and Eastern Europe. Unfortunately, this has not been reflected in the theoretical literature. Thus although there have been many books on the end of the Cold War…
