Defending Memory in Global Politics
Building on Maria Mälksoo’s influential 2015 article “Memory Must Be Defended”: Beyond the Politics of Mnemonical Security ( Security Dialogue , 46(3), 221–237), the volume Defending Memory in Global Politics: Mnemonical In/Security and Crisis , edited by Erica Resende, Dovilė Budrytė, and Douglas Becker, examines contemporary politics of memory politicisation and securitization captured in eleven case studies, structured according to actor types…
How military forecasting projects can promote exceptionalist militarism
This article examines the puzzle of the French Red Team: how to make sense of the mediatization of a military threat forecasting project that is officially aimed at promoting internal innovation? Building a conceptual bridge between the civil–military relations scholarship and securitization theory, the article argues that the project should be understood as a securitizing movement with the aim of securitizing future threats to the integrity of t…
Sécuriser l’avenir pour mieux militariser le présent
Cet article s’intéresse à l’énigme de la Red Team française : projet d’anticipation de menaces lancé en 2019 avec l’intention de contribuer à l’innovation technologique et capacitaire des armées, la Red Team est devenue une vaste opération médiatique dont les contenus des scénarios développés, mais surtout la publicité ciblant le grand public, semblent avoir peu à voir avec les objectifs annoncés. En prenant appui sur l’approche sociologique de l…
Introduction
Researching Emotions in International Relations
This edited volume is the first to discuss the methodological implications of the?emotional turn? in International Relations. While emotions have become of increasing interest to IR theory, methodological challenges have yet to receive proper attention. Acknowledging the pluralityof ontological positions, concepts and theories about the role of emotions in world politics, this volume presents and discusses various ways to research emotions empiri…
How do non-governmental organizations influence media coverage of conflict? The case of the Syrian conflict, 2011–2014
It is often argued that non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have become increasingly visible in media discourses on armed conflict and thus play a growing role in shaping states’ foreign policies. However, there is little investigation of their influence on specific conflict coverage and what types of NGOs are influential, in what way and under what conditions. The authors elaborate a ‘supply and demand’ model of growing or declining NGO influe…
The “Hero‐Protector Narrative
How do political leaders manufacture collective emotions to justify the use of force? This article introduces the “hero‐protector narrative” as a conceptual model to analyze how political leaders try to manufacture specific collective emotions to encourage their audience to perceive violence as the only morally acceptable course of action. In our model, we formalize a set of distinctive narrative structures (roles and sequences), which are combin…
Die Bundeswehr in Afghanistan
This is a review of Philipp Münch's book that analyses the strategy-making by the German Bundeswehr during the ISAF mission in Afghanistan
The pitfalls of learning from historical experience
Why do armies often fail to transmit and coherently apply lessons from their past? Using the concept of ‘layered organizational culture’, this article formulates a pioneering theoretical argument to explain how military organizations learn from their historical experience. Analysing empirical material from internal debates within the British Army, the article observes an inherent incompatibility between lessons gleaned from, on the one hand, the …

Comment peut-on interpréter l'usage de l'histoire par les décideurs dans les débats autour de la conflictualité contemporaine ? Jusqu'à présent, les conceptualisations établies des usages de l'histoire dans les Relations internationales ont été dominées par des arguments individualistes. Or, la sociologie de la mémoire collective a montré l'existence intersubjective de cadres sociaux qui déterminent quelles histoires peuvent être mobilisées, et a…
From "memory wars" to shared identities
This article seeks to advance the theoretical understanding and empirical operationalization of transnational collective memory. While the theoretical nature of collective memory has been thoroughly analyzed on the national and sub-national level, there has been less conceptual work on the potential of transnational collective memory. Against widespread assumptions that because of the diversity of nationally rooted memories, transnational memory …
The British Approach to Counterinsurgency
This collective volume adds some essential and innovative perspectives to the ongoing debate on the future viability of counterinsurgency doctrine after the retreats from Iraq and Afghanistan. Paul
La présence de la Grande Guerre dans les discours
La commémoration du centenaire de la Grande Guerre et les étapes de la marche inexorable à la guerre au cours de l'été 1914 devraient être dans toutes les mémoires. La parution, à l'automne dernier, de l'ouvrage Les somnambules de l'historien australien Christopher Clark [...] vient opportunément rappeler que les causes d'un conflit planétaire, qui fit près de 20 millions de morts civils et militaires, sont loin d'avoir toutes été maîtrisées.

La présence de la Grande Guerre dans les discours
Malgré une multiplication de gestes de commémoration commune, de nombreuses études constatent des différences profondes du rôle de la Première Guerre mondiale dans la mémoire collective de l'Allemagne et de la France. S'appuyant sur Halbwachs qui perçoit la mémoire collective comme résultat des processus de communication permanents entre les membres d'une communauté, cette contribution vise à examiner l'hypothèse initiale à travers une analyse co…
