Storytelling and political theory
Lawless Zones, Rightless Subjects: Migration, Asylum, and Shifting Borders
Responding to ever-increasing pressures of migration, states, supranational, and subnational actors deploy complex moves and maneuvers to reconfigure borders, rights, and territory, giving rise to a changing legal cartography of international relations and international law. The purpose of this volume is to study this new reconfiguration of rights, territoriality, and jurisdiction at the empirical and normative levels and to examine its implicati…
When the People Rule: Popular Sovereignty in Theory and Practice
In recent decades, popular sovereignty has come under increasing pressure. The rise of populism, often illiberal or authoritarian, has undermined minority rights, individual autonomy, and rule of law. The expansion of international institutions and greater reliance on market and non-governmental organizations have gradually insulated large areas of policymaking from public control. In turn, these developments cast doubt on the viability and desir…

Political Theory with an Ethnographic Sensibility
Political Theory in an Ethnographic Key
Should political theorists engage in ethnography? In this letter, we assess a recent wave of interest in ethnography among political theorists and explain why it is a good thing. We focus, in particular, on how ethnographic research generates what Ian Shapiro calls "problematizing redescriptions"-accounts of political phenomena that destabilize the lens through which we traditionally study them, engendering novel questions and exposing new avenue…
The Politics of Borders: Sovereignty, Security, and the Citizen after 9/11
Borders sit at the center of global politics. Yet they are too often understood as thin lines, as they appear on maps, rather than as political institutions in their own right. This book takes a detailed look at the evolution of border security in the United States after 9/11. Far from the walls and fences that dominate the news, it reveals borders to be thick, multi-faceted and binational institutions that have evolved greatly in recent decades.…
From Sovereignty to Imperium: Borders, Frontiers and the Specter of Neo-Imperialism
Borders are changing in myriad and multifaceted ways. After 9/11, states redoubled efforts at shoring up their perimeters and building walls. But borders are not merely increasingly securitized, they are also becoming thicker and bi-national. This new ‘zonal’ border emerging worldwide radically shifts the debate about borders and sovereignty. If sovereignty is indivisible, unitary and final, how can it be shared between states at their mutual per…

A Checkpoint Effect? Evidence from a Natural Experiment on Travel Restrictions in the West Bank
Does nonviolent repression prompt subject groups to obey or rebel? By what mechanism does it do so? To address these questions, we exploit a natural experiment based on a 2009 policy toward the “easement” of checkpoints—nonviolent impediments to movement—in the West Bank. We sample populations across 17 villages (n = 599), beside one checkpoint slated for easement (treatment) and one that will undergo no change (control), before and after the int…
The power of arms: Rethinking armed parties and democratization through the Palestinian elections
This article examines the role of armed parties in democratization. Usually considered volatile and thus excluded from the democratic process, we argue instead that in certain circumstances, armed parties can have a productive role in elections aimed at democratization – most notably by contributing to the balance of power between incumbents and opposition, both before, during and after elections. An in-depth analysis of the 2006 Palestinian elec…
The Case for Peace before Disarmament
Insisting that armed groups lay down their weapons as a precondition to negotiations over peace and democracy is often counterproductive. Armed groups can actually play a constructive role in promoting peace and democracy. Specifically, they do so when armed parties are well organised, seek power over the same body of people, and have a strong basis of social support. Under these conditions, armed parties can pose a credible challenge to regime e…
