  • Broken trust: Performances and performativity in transatlantic intelligence cooperation

    Open Access•Alexandra Gheciu, Srdjan Vucetic•ARTICLE•Intelligence & National Security•2026

    Can broken trust be repaired? This study examines the sociopolitical processes through which trust becomes ‘repaired’, ‘rebuilt’ or ‘restored’ following incidents and crises in relations between allies. Drawing on several bodies of literature, including International Relations (IR) scholarship on security community and on practices, we develop a framework for analyzing public performances that we argue play a significant role in restoring trust a…

  • The Anglosphere and the European radical right

    Srdjan Vucetic•ARTICLE•Australian Journal Of International…•2025•Cited by: 2•References: 16

    Contemporary Europe is witnessing a surge in radical-right leaders, parties, movements and knowledge producers who seek and proclaim a new world order. Consulting texts collected from different media and forms of communication, this paper asks how these actors view ‘the Anglosphere,’ a distinct geopolitical space that challenges seemingly stable ‘Western’ and ‘Euro-Atlantic’ identities and identifications. ‘The’ European radical being a kind of e…

  • Baleful influence: A Conceptual Analysis of Militarism

    Open Access•Bryan Mabee, Srdjan Vucetic•ARTICLE•European Journal of International…•2025•References: 86

    Militarism, broadly defined as a set of social practices that highlight the utility of organised violence, plays a central role in global security and military affairs. Yet International Relations (IR) research has long struggled with militarism. This paper considers the capacity of existing conceptual and methodological approaches to engage with the concept, in turn assessing militarism’s candidacy to become a ‘core concept’ in the field. We fir…

  • World of the Right: Radical Conservatism and Global Order

    Open Access•R Abrahamsen, Jean-François Drolet et al.•BOOK•World of the Right•2024

    The contemporary radical Right is not merely a series of nationalist projects but a global phenomenon. This book shows how radical conservative thinkers have developed long-term counter-hegemonic strategies that challenge prevailing social and political orders both nationally and internationally. At the heart of this ideological project is a critique of liberal globalisation that seeks to mobilise transversal alliances against a common enemy: the…

  • Atlas asunder? Neo-liberal think tanks and the radical right

    Open Access•Srdjan Vucetic•ARTICLE•International Affairs•2024•Cited by: 1

    How are neoliberal thought leaders reacting to the rise of radical conservatism? Looking at Atlas, a worldwide network comprising approximately 500 free market think tanks and campaign groups, this study examines how its affiliates prioritize threats. This is accomplished through a qualitative analysis of a sample of documents that Atlas partners published on their websites from 2017 to 2022. The findings range from expected to puzzling. First, t…

  • Elite-mass agreement in British foreign policy

    Open Access•Srdjan Vucetic•ARTICLE•International Affairs•2022•Cited by: 1

    Thirty years ago, William Wallace likened British foreign policy to a musical tug-of-war between the 'Anglo-Saxons' and 'Europeans', attributing 'all the best tunes' to the former. This article revisits Wallace's thesis and its main concept: national identity. It finds that Wallace was right to draw attention to the power of the ruling elite to shape Englishness and Britishness. However, the article also finds that 'global' foreign policy ideas w…

  • Everyday Nationalism and Making Identity Count

    Open Access•Srdjan Vucetic, Ted Hopf•ARTICLE•Nationalities Papers•2020•Cited by: 7•References: 19

    The literature on “everyday nationalism” foregrounds constructivist practice theory as well as interpretivist methodologies. Our project—Making Identity Count—does something similar but with an aim to advance the study of International Relations rather than the study of nationalism. Here, we suggest that these two approaches are basically complementary, and that a theoretical and methodological cross-fertilization between them may yield new insig…

  • Canada in the United Nations General Assembly from Trudeau to Trudeau

    Open Access•Srdjan Vucetic, Bojan Ramadanovic•ARTICLE•Canadian Journal of Political…•2020•Cited by: 1•References: 59

    All Canadian governments say that Canada must look to its friends and allies and like-minded partners to achieve greater cooperation on global issues. But who are these countries exactly? To gain a better understanding of where Ottawa stands in the world, with whom and under what conditions, we analyze Canada's voting patterns in the United Nations General Assembly from 1980 to 2017. We find that Canada's overall record tends toward that of Weste…

  • Confronting the International Political Sociology of the New Right

    Open Access•R Abrahamsen, Jean-François Drolet et al.•ARTICLE•International Political Sociology•2020•Cited by: 19•References: 30

    The rise of radical right-wing leaders, parties, movements, and ideas have transformed not only domestic political landscapes but also the direction and dynamics of international relations. Yet for all their emphasis on nationalist identity, on 'America First' and 'Taking Back Control,' there is an unmistakable international dimension to contemporary nationalist, populist movements. Yet these movements are also often transnationally linked. We ar…

  • Brexit, Canzuk, and the legacy of empire

    Open Access•Duncan Bell, Srdjan Vucetic•ARTICLE•The British Journal of Politics…•2019•Cited by: 23•References: 10

    The Brexit referendum triggered a feverish debate over the future of Britain. Critics warn of a country stripped of its international influence, while advocates insist that it marks the beginning of a new phase in British engagement with the world. This article explores a notable development in the ideological debate. Some prominent Brexit supporters endorse the idea of CANZUK, a union of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. We…

  • Causal Claims and the Study of Ethnic Conflict

    Open Access•Marie-Eve Desrosiers, Srdjan Vucetic•ARTICLE•Journal of Global Security Studies•2018•Cited by: 1•References: 35

    What does causation mean in conflict studies? Using a sample of published qualitative, article-length studies on the Rwandan and Yugoslav wars, this article finds a lack of reflexivity over causal claims in scholarship on conflict. Causal language is not as pervasive as expected, asserted cause-effect relationships are rarely fully explicated, and scholars under-explore their causal assumptions. Considering that ideas on causation necessarily con…

  • Varieties of militarism: Towards a typology

    Open Access•Bryan Mabee, Srdjan Vucetic•ARTICLE•Security Dialogue•2018•Cited by: 29•References: 13

    Militarism – a mercurial, endlessly contested concept – is experiencing a renaissance of sorts in many corners of the social science community. In critical security studies, the concept’s purview has become increasingly limited by an abiding theoretical and analytical focus on various practices of securitization. We argue that there is a need to clarify the logic and stakes of different forms of militarism. Critical security scholars have provide…

  • The Distribution of Identity and the Future of International Order: China's Hegemonic Prospects

    Open Access•Bentley B Allan, Srdjan Vucetic et al.•ARTICLE•International Organization•2018•Cited by: 55•References: 50

    Existing theories predict that the rise of China will trigger a hegemonic transition and the current debate centers on whether or not the transition will be violent or peaceful. This debate largely sidesteps two questions that are central to understanding the future of international order: how strong is the current Western hegemonic order and what is the likelihood that China can or will lead a successful counterhegemonic challenge? We argue that…

  • Identity and Foreign Policy

    Srdjan Vucetic•CHAPTER•Civil Disobedience and…•2017

    Identity has come to figure prominently in the study of foreign policy since the 1990s when it was first introduced by constructivist theorists in International Relations. Consensus on what identity is and what it does in relation to foreign policy does not exist and is unlikely to be ever forged. Some scholars investigate state identity—how it impacts foreign policy processes while simultaneously being impacted by international structures. Other…

  • A nation of feminist arms dealers? Canada and military exports

    The Canada-Saudi light armoured vehicles deal is likely to be remembered as the Trudeau government's first scandal. Situating this deal in a historical-comparative context and using the best available quantitative arms trade data, this analysis advances two main claims. First, Canada's Liberal governments are just as likely as Conservative governments to encourage exports of Canadian military goods, including goods going to human rights-abusing c…

    How do American news media portray Canadian Muslims? Using a sample of 386 discrete newspaper articles published between January 1, 1999, and December 31, 2014, in The Buffalo News, Tampa Bay Times, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and USA Today, this article investigates the portrayal of Canadian Muslims in these publications through a combination of content and discourse analyses. Three findings stand out: first…

    How did the Canadian news media cover the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter purchase, proposed by the Harper government in mid-2010? Under what conditions did the media tend to index government talking points as opposed to providing space to oppositional voices and viewpoints? Content analysis of headlines and full text transcripts in five mainstream newspapers revealed news coverage that was mostly negative and that it became more negative as consensus …

    How do states decide where to source arms? Drawing on theories of international relations, we consider the recent fighter aircraft competitions in Brazil and India, and analyze why the U.S.‐made aircraft lost to their European rivals. Official statements offered by the Brazilian and Indian governments have cited inferior aircraft performance, technology‐sharing issues, and prices. These explanations may be valid, but their main purpose is to dire…

The first is that genealogy is a unique research tool, but not radically different from the rest of the qualitative-interpretative arsenal more commonly found in the discipline.

Next, we use a basic probit…

    There is a good reason why the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program is so often described as the arms deal of the century. In a report published on the last day of 2010, the Pentagon estimated lifetime operating and sustainment costs for the US F-35 Aeet-then projected at 2,443 units, not counting the prototypes-at US$1.45 trillion.1 Cost analyses of this type are always much-debated: How many units will be sold in total?

In a report published on the last day of 2010, the Pentagon estimated lifetime operating and sustainment costs for the US F-35 Aeet-then projected at 2,443 units, not counting the prototypes-at US$1.45 trillion.1 Cost analyses of this type are always much-debated: How many units will be sold in total? How does one define lifetim…

    Open Access•Atsushi Tago, Srdjan Vucetic•ARTICLE•International Journal Canada s…•2013•Cited by: 3

    The United States has two faithful allies in Canada and Japan. Established at different points in the twentieth century, the two alliances have grown and flourished, helping to maintain an American-led order in the Asia-Pacific and beyond. By any reasonable measure, few states are as integrated in the American sphere as these two. In David A. Lake's index of US security hierarchy, which measures a variety of bargaining mechanisms through which st…

    Open Access•Srdjan Vucetic, Érico Esteves Duarte•ARTICLE•Politics & Policy•2015•Cited by: 3•References: 11

    How do states decide where to source arms? Drawing on theories of international relations, we consider the recent fighter aircraft competitions in Brazil and India, and analyze why the U.S.‐made aircraft lost to their European rivals. Official statements offered by the Brazilian and Indian governments have cited inferior aircraft performance, technology‐sharing issues, and prices. These explanations may be valid, but their main purpose is to dire…

  • Remnants of Empire: Tracing Norway's F-35 Decision

    Srdjan Vucetic, Rebecka S Rydberg•ARTICLE•Arms Control•2015•Cited by: 3

    What is left of the ‘empire by invitation’? Coined by Geir Lundestad in 1986, the seemingly contradictory phrase has been used to explain the nature of American power in Western Europe and beyond. This article revisits the concept to shed light on Norway's 2008 decision to recapitalize its fighter jet fleet with the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter – an event of considerable political significance in the ongoing history of this complex, controversial, a…

    When it comes to buying military aircraft, what leads states to prefer one supplier over the other? This paper explores this question from the perspective of international relations theory. First we use social network analysis to map out fighter jet transfers during and after the Cold War and examine the extent to which historical structures of international hierarchy shape contemporary supplier-receiver relationships. Next, we use a basic probit…

Three findings stand out: first…

  • Who framed the F-35? Government–media relations in Canadian defence procurement

    How did the Canadian news media cover the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter purchase, proposed by the Harper government in mid-2010? Under what conditions did the media tend to index government talking points as opposed to providing space to oppositional voices and viewpoints? Content analysis of headlines and full text transcripts in five mainstream newspapers revealed news coverage that was mostly negative and that it became more negative as consensus …

  • The Distribution of Identity and the Future of International Order: China’s Hegemonic Prospects

    Bentley B Allan, Bentley Allan et al.•PREPRINT•2017

    Existing theories predict that the rise of China will trigger a hegemonic transition and the current debate centers on whether or not the transition will be violent or peaceful. This debate largely sidesteps two questions that are central to understanding the future of international order: how strong is the current Western hegemonic order and what is the likelihood that China can or will lead a successful counter-hegemonic challenge? We argue tha…

  • Identity and Foreign Policy

    Srdjan Vucetic•CHAPTER•Civil Disobedience and…•2017

    Identity has come to figure prominently in the study of foreign policy since the 1990s when it was first introduced by constructivist theorists in International Relations. Consensus on what identity is and what it does in relation to foreign policy does not exist and is unlikely to be ever forged. Some scholars investigate state identity—how it impacts foreign policy processes while simultaneously being impacted by international structures. Other…

    The Canada-Saudi light armoured vehicles deal is likely to be remembered as the Trudeau government's first scandal. Situating this deal in a historical-comparative context and using the best available quantitative arms trade data, this analysis advances two main claims. First, Canada's Liberal governments are just as likely as Conservative governments to encourage exports of Canadian military goods, including goods going to human rights-abusing c…
