The Politics of Repair in a Broken World
Much of the world is currently bearing witness to major transformations to the liberal-modern geopolitical order that has defined it for some time. Amid this crisis, an array of new political orientations have been adopted by the different actors now competing for the authority to establish the agendas that will shape our future. One such orientation is repair. Repair refers to a mode of political critique that reads our present malaise as the re…
Theorising the violence-resistance-nexus in the context of Gaza: Towards a situated research perspective
Divergent, often implicit, concepts of violence shape judgements about what counts as legitimate resistance or illegitimate harm, and about which actors and grievances become visible. Against this backdrop, academic and public debates seeking to make sense of the violence in Gaza frequently talk past one another: they shift registers between analytical descriptions, moral arguments, and legal assessment without naming their starting assumptions t…
Liberal and Liberationist Transformative Justice
Transformative justice is a concept that has gained prominence in both academic and public discourse. However, there are different understandings of the concept in different fields and within the broader public. In this paper, we identify a liberal and a liberationist strand of transformative justice as a heuristic. The former corresponds to an academic turn within the field of transitional justice, as a liberal policy intervention, while the lat…
Hierarchies in death: Coverage of Palestinian and Israeli victims in the context of October 7 and the war on Gaza
Imperial Boomerangs: Transnational and Transtemporal Dimensions of Contemporary Conflict Configurations
Building on the growing body of literature engaging with the concept of the boomerang, this paper synthesises this literature and suggests an analytical framework of three strands of imperial boomerangs: the governing boomerang, the boomerang of imperial subjectivities, and the material boomerang. Thus, the paper addresses debates around empire and imperialism as well as temporalities in historical International Relations. It offers a fresh lens,…
Dangerous arenas: Why Activists Struggle for Change in Technocratic Institutions
Emancipatory activism is often channelled into institutions. While this can be interpreted as a success, it may also demobilize activism. The growing literature on the co-optation of emancipatory struggles and the technocratic exercise of power in transnational politics explains these dynamics with the depoliticizing character of institutions: struggles are depoliticized through institutionalization. Participation in institutional politics is the…
Global Hierarchies and Unequal Pressures in the Report-Making of Truth Commissions
In this analytical essay, we situate truth commissions as relevant sites for International Relations (IR) research, in particular on professional communities and knowledge hierarchies. With an empirical focus on report-making, we argue that there is a need to rethink and revise established professional community concepts. While these concepts stress professional communities’ detachment from mundane pressures, we suggest a “pressure lens” to bette…
Vorschläge für eine situierte Forschungsperspektive auf Gewalt(freiheit) im Kontext sozialer Mobilisierung
Welche Rolle spielen Disruption und Gewalt mit Blick auf den Erfolg von sozialer Mobilisierung und wie können sie legitimiert werden? Wo endet ziviler Ungehorsam und beginnt radikaler Protest? Potenzielle wissenschaftliche Antworten auf diese umstrittenen Fragen sind gebunden an ontologische, normative und epistemologische Vorannahmen, ebenso wie Versuche der definitorischen Grenzziehung zum Gewaltbegriff. Dies verdeutlicht der einleitende Beitra…
Neue Radikalität? Protest, Gewalt und ziviler Ungehorsam – Versuche einer Grenzziehung
Confined knowledge flows in transitional justice
The article contributes to literature that critically scrutinizes knowledge production and transfer in conflict and intervention contexts. Drawing on original research on the Tunisian transitional justice process, it contributes an empirically grounded picture to the study of co-production of governance orders and security knowledges through transnational assemblages. These transnational assemblages are formed by complex coalitions of actors from…
Factors influencing engagement and utilisation of opium tincture‐assisted treatment for opioid use disorder: A qualitative study in Tehran, Iran
Introducing Justicecraft: Political Change Across Space and Time
Scholarship has often compartmentalised issues associated with injustice, political violence, and past wrongdoings. To contextualise questions of political change and justice across time and space, we introduce a dynamic, layered and transversal understanding of these processes. Drawing on Inés Valdez’s notion of “justice as a political craft,” we explore situated struggles for change and justice. Coping with injustice is contingent on context-sp…
A processual framework for analysing liberal policy interventions in conflict contexts
The article proposes a heuristic framework based on processual sociology to analyse policy interventions aimed at change within conflict contexts. Such a framework is valuable because it creates an opportunity for a more open approach to empirical research that may allow us to research evolving processes and to see things we might miss otherwise. The article aims to complement goal-oriented and predominantly relational approaches and to contribut…
Cheating on exams: Investigating Reasons, Attitudes, and the Role of Demographic Variables
Cheating is an academically dishonest behavior about which there has been a thrust of research. However, it has not been extensively researched in an Iranian context. Therefore, the current study was conducted with 310 Iranian students. A cheating questionnaire was devised and administered to the participants. Certain demographic variables were investigated. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to analyze the obtained data. T…
Trying Just Enough or Promising Too Much? The Problem-Capacity-Nexus in Tunisia’s Transitional Justice Process
This article shows that for post-revolutionary Tunisia, a holistic approach to transitional justice – which aims to address a wide range of justice issues through a combination of measures – may lead to an expansion of mandates and consequently, to the overloading of transitional justice institutions. It therefore identifies a ‘problem-capacity-nexus’: While the expansive approach appears well-suited to relevant problems and the capacities of tra…
An error analysis of journal papers written by Persian authors
This research was conducted to pinpoint common errors in Iranian authors’ writings, which was done by extracting the errors in the writings of 40 scientific articles written by students, which were edited by an editing team at Sharif University of Technology, Languages and Linguistics Center. As a result of this investigation, eight types of errors were extracted as the following: errors in word usage, articles, preposition, conjunction, tense, e…
