Introspective Journeys and Lessons Learned: Narratives of Self-Care in Academia
Given the realities of external pressures on our daily lives, work-life balance is important now more than ever. Although we often advocate for work-life balance, are we equipped with the appropriate tools and an adequate support network to handle what life might throw at us? How do we continue to be productive when dealing with distressing matters that we seemingly have little control over? Contributors from different areas of the world, with a …
The Trump effect: The perpetuation of populism in US-China trade
Our article analyses the enduring influence of Donald Trump's populist narrative on United States-China trade policies under Joe Biden's administration. We extend the literature on the effect of populism and populist leaders by examining what happens after a populist leader leaves office, and to what extent an expectation of populism perpetuates a populist narrative despite a change in leadership. In the case of US-China trade, the Biden administ…
Trump talk: Rethinking elections, rhetoric, and American foreign policy
This special issue on elections, rhetoric, and American Foreign policy brings to light how and why ‘talk’ matters particularly in foreign policy. While not all of the articles examine President Trump directly, the special issue situates itself in what can be seen as a new era, brought on by Trump, that is, rewriting the rules of rhetoric and elections, and challenging our assumptions about how they impact American foreign policy. By way of conclu…
Stepping out of the social world: A lonely call for more philosophy in the practice turn
Practice Theory and International Relations will challenge all you’ve come to know about the practice turn in international relations. It will ask you to question how you define practices and call for more precision. It will challenge your starting point of ground-up actions in everyday life and look at practices from above. It will push you to rethink your empirical methodology and call out sociological approaches as misconceived. And yes, it wi…
Introduction to the Special Issue on Exploring Global Populisms
It is now without question that populism is spreading around the globe. However, what populism is, how it should be understood and whether or not it is a useful and functional concept is still decidedly under debate. In this Special Issue of Populism, our authors dive into the heart of an emerging and explosive research agenda, and bring insight, empirical data and new ways of connecting populism to globalism in a worldwide context. In our introd…
Emotions and Political Narratives: Populism, Trump and Trade
In 2016, a wave of American populism triggered emotional reactions to issues like trade and immigration, and dramatically impacted the Obama administration’s plans to ratify the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) during President Obama’s final year in office. This article asks how do emotions infuse populism with political power, and why was populism effective in sparking American economic nationalism and retreat from free trade during the 2016 pres…
Trading with the enemy: Narrative, identity and US trade politics
Most scholars contend that ‘inside’ lobbying such as corporate money, campaign contributions and interest group ties to Congress shape trade policy outcomes. Some scholars also claim that ‘outside’ lobbying such as appealing to the US public through media and advertising campaigns is also critical especially for free trade success. Yet, little crossover exists between the trade literature on lobbying and the emerging IR foreign policy literature …
Playing partners: Expectation, entanglement, and language games in US foreign policy
In this article, I argue that seemingly 'un-noteworthy' interactions between states can demonstrate the significance of language for social relationships and foreign policy partnerships. Using language game analysis, I apply Peter Howard's four-stage model to the case of the US-Turkish Economic Partnership Commission's proposal for qualified industrial zones shortly after 9/11 and examine how the expectations for enhancing partnership are shaped …
Interrupting Inevitability: Globalization and Resistance
Recent and past events indicate that the meanings, effects, and outcomes of globalization are highly contested. Despite this, an underlying assumption of inevitability characterizes dominant globalization discourses. How is it possible that inevitability claims persist despite multiple contestations? In this article, the author makes two arguments. The first corrects a pervasive problem in the literature that separates contingency and inevitabili…
Constructing Nafta: Myth, Representation, and the Discursive Construction of U.S. Foreign Policy
The passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement in November 1993 signified the acceptance of Mexico as an equal trading partner with the United States and Canada. However, accepting Mexico as an equal partner challenged a deeply ingrained U.S. image of Mexico as inferior, childlike, dependent, and suspicious. How was it possible for the U.S. public and its congressional representatives to accept equal economic integration with a country th…
