A climate of (de-)civilisation
The sociological turn in global ethics: Andrew Linklater’s shift from Habermasian transcendental ethics to Eliasian objective ethics
Grand Narratives in Critical International Theory
Critical international theory has the task of providing orientation to human beings in better understanding their conditions of existence, how those conditions came to assume their contemporary characteristics, and what immanent potential they might hold for emancipatory transformation. The argument in this book is that this task of orientation is indissociable from a reliance on grand narratives that capture the main features of the long-term pr…
Post-Eurocentric grand narratives in critical international theory
Critical international theory is confronted with a fundamental ‘problem of orientation’, whose answer defines its capacity to critically analyse world politics. This problem derives from how the capacity for critique is inherently connected with the need to, at least partially, escape time- and space-bound points of view and attain a more cosmopolitan perspective that permits an assessment of the regressive/progressive tendencies of the human pas…
Fields, Worlds and Figurations: Using Elias to Revisit Depth Conceptual Imagery and Emancipatory Critique
We centrally explore the significance of conceptual imagery, particularly ideas of 'depth' and its relationship to ideals of critique, emancipatory action, and conceptions of social structure and action. We consider how depth imagery is invoked in critiques of sociological thinkers understood to employ 'flat' social ontologies. We develop a three-way comparison between Pierre Bourdieu's 'field,' Howard Becker's 'world,' and Norbert Elias's 'figur…

Reality-congruence, emancipatory politics and situated knowledge in International Relations: A Process Sociological Perspective
Recent discussions of the epistemological and political implications of the situatedness of knowledge in International Relations (IR) have raised important questions regarding the future development of the discipline. They pose the challenge of understanding under what conditions human beings develop more or less reality-congruent knowledge about world politics and what are the implications of such knowledge for emancipatory political activity. T…
Climate Change, Moral Panics, and Civilization
In recent years, interest in climate change has rapidly increased in the social sciences and yet there is still relatively little published material in the field that seeks to understand the development of climate change as a perceived social problem. This book contributes to filling this gap by theoretically linking the study of the historical development of social perceptions about ‘nature’ and climate change with the figurational sociology of …
Singapore’s Use of Education as a Soft Power Tool in Arctic Cooperation
Singapore is expert at using education as a means of projecting soft power internationally. For years, it has offered free and subsidized education opportunities in Southeast Asia, and now, with its interests in the Arctic, it is offering education opportunities to indigenous peoples as a way to involve itself in regional governance
