Agency within Mobility
The movement of people across borders, and the varied governmental responses to that movement, is of crucial importance to contemporary geopolitics. Agency and mobility are two central themes in these debates. This Forum makes an intervention into such debates, by contributing to the conceptualisation of agency as a co-constitutive phenomena, and seeking a collaborative response to the question of how to rethink the paradigm of political agency. …
Poppies, Para flags and the NHS
Recent years have seen notable shifts in commemorative practices in Northern Ireland: first towards greater antagonism through the emblem of the Parachute Regiment, then towards shared symbolisation through the logo of the National Health Service. Drawing upon the theoretical insights of Jacques Derrida, this article contributes to literature which rejects “two communities” understandings of politics in Northern Ireland. Through a discussion of t…
The biopolitics of the migration-development nexus
While politicians in the United Kingdom (UK) have engaged in fractious debate over the appropriate way of responding to the myriad issues arising from the so-called migration or refugee crisis in recent years, there is an apparent cross-party consensus regarding the ability of overseas aid and development spending to reduce levels of global economic migration. This suggests that the central tenets of what is known in the policy literature as the …
Governing Potential
Many scholars of international political sociology have turned to biopolitics in their attempts to understand the “European migration/refugee crisis” that has unfolded in and around the Mediterranean Sea in the last several years. This article makes an intervention into this debate by suggesting a new means of understanding the biopolitics of migration and refugee management, based on a detailed consideration of the role of potentiality in biopol…
Deconstructing Dayton
Twenty years after the signing of the Dayton Peace Agreement (DPA) which brought the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) to an end, the dysfunctional nature of the Bosnian state means that the question of how political actors in BiH engage with the DPA as a response to the war remains vitally important. This article argues that moving beyond the ethnicization of politics in BiH enacted by the DPA can be achieved by challenging the understand…
Resisting Memory
This article explores practices of memorialisation in post-conflict society, through the case study of the James McCurrie Robert Neill Memorial Garden, located in East Belfast, which has been vandalised on a number of occasions. It notes the similarities between these attacks and Jenny Edkins’ theorisation of resistance at the sites of state memory. In the context of Northern Ireland, however, such resistance serves only to replicate patterns of …
