From Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB) advocacy to interreligious engagement in foreign policy
In recent years, Western governments have strengthened their foreign policy tools, global advocacy efforts and international coordination to protect Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB). There is, however, a growing feeling that the current FoRB promotion approaches appear overall to be failing, as religious persecution and discrimination continue to increase in many parts of the world. Criticizing the secular policy mindset embedded in the curre…
R. Scott Appleby, Pioneer of The Ambivalence of the Sacred and Religious Engagement
Since the publication 20 years ago of his classic book, The Ambivalence of the Sacred: Religion, Violence, and Reconciliation, R. Scott Appleby’s scholarly and policy contribution has been crucial to a more reflexive study of religion in international relations. Appleby’s argument sits in a unique place in the context of the research produced in the last 30 years to address the neglected role of religion in international affairs, and in particula…
Dialogue of Civilizations in a Multipolar World
In this article, I explore the relationship between the new multipolar trends related to the emerging powers and the idea of dialogue of civilizations. My starting point is to understand multipolarity as part of a broader epoch making process of transformation of contemporary international society beyond its Western-centric matrix. In the first part of this article, I therefore argue for an analytical understanding that emphasizes the emergence o…
Encounter, Dialogue, and Knowledge
The “religious turn” in the study of international relations has started to break through and inform concrete policy discussions. The first part of this article briefly explains that breakthrough a
Geopolitics ‘in the land of the prince’
The postsecular in International Relations
Over the last few years the notion of postsecularity has gained increasing relevance in the social sciences. This term has been employed in two interconnected but different ways. First, in a more descriptive fashion, it has been used to explain the return or resilience of religious traditions in modern life. This has resulted, on the one hand, in the attempt to develop conceptual frameworks that could account for this unexpected feature of modern…
In Defence of Dialogue of Civilisations
In this article I want to put forward an intellectual defence of the political discourse of dialogue of civilisations by challenging the idea that ‘civilisation-based thinking’ is necessarily a conflict-generating factor and arguing that, contrary to fashionable assumptions, a civilisational dialogue that wants to contribute to a more peaceful world order requires, in a qualified way, ‘stronger’ civilisational identities. In particular, I take is…
The Renaissance of Geopolitics in Post-1989 Italy
The revival of geopolitics in post-1989 Italy is at once rather straightforward and perplexing matter. On the one hand, the renewed appeal that geopolitical thinking has enjoyed in International Relations (IR) circles has been well documented and could hardly be downplayed. On the other hand, however, the recourse to geopolitics has often boiled down to an undifferentiated and often convoluted use of its terms, approaches and theories. In this ar…
Dialogue of Civilizations as an Alternative Model for World Order
On November 4, 1998, the General Assembly of the United Nations unanimously adopted a resolution proposed by the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mohammad Khatami, which designated 2001 as the Year of the “Dialogue among Civilizations.” In the same year, on September 11, the shadow of a future clash of civilizations came looming down with incredible velocity, leaving in its wake an atmosphere of fear, mistrust, and war. At the dawn of t…

The International Political Thought of Carl Schmitt
The Global Political Discourse of Dialogue among Civilizations
The global political discourse of ‘dialogue among civilizations’ emerged in the '90s in the context of the political debate on world order and against the background of the two competing and powerful discourses of the ‘clash of civilizations’ and the ‘end of history’. In the post 9/11 context and after five years from the designation of the UN Year of the Dialogue among Civilizations, this political discourse has been increasingly the object of a…
Introducing the International Theory of Carl Schmitt
In this piece we introduce and contextualize the contributions to the special focus on the international theory of Carl Schmitt, and argue that Carl Schmitt's much neglected international thought can provide scholars of both international relations and international law with a new common multidisciplinary research platform pivotal in thinking about the present international predicaments of crisis in international order and legitimacy, of conteste…

Fuzzy Politics Around Fuzzy Borders
The external borders of the European Union (EU) are becoming increasingly difficult to delineate as it exports policies to states beyond its own membership. While the EU possesses a clearly defined membership, its borders are `fuzzy'. The purpose of this paper is to consider the impact of these `fuzzy' borders on the EU's neighbours - and its resulting `fuzzy' politics. Two case studies are considered: the Baltic States and the Mediterranean. In …
