Norm Contestation and Normative Transformation in Global Peacebuilding Order(s)
Focusing on the disconnect between mainstream “liberal” peacebuilding and the discourses and practices of “new” and “alternative” peacebuilding actors, this article develops a nonbinary approach that goes beyond norm localization to capture the ways in which major powers influence the nature, content, and direction of normative change. Within the context of their bilateral and multilateral contributions to the “global peacebuilding order,” what f…
Urban Safety and Peacebuilding
Realist Approaches to International Law
This chapter outlines some of the linkages between a genuinely legal realist approach to (international) law and jurisprudence, and the claims of political realists about the role and status of law in the international sphere. It explores realism as an argumentative strategy, in considering what an argumentative structure would look like in international legal thought. The second part of the chapter then examines the intellectual heritage of what…
Echoes of a Forgotten Past
Those studying the work of Hans J. Morgenthau, widely considered the “founding father” of the Realist School of International Relations, have long been baffled by his views on world government and the attainment of a world state—views that, it would appear, are strikingly incompatible with the author's realism. In a 1965 article in World Politics , James P. Speer II decided that it could only be “theoretical confusion” that explained why Morgenth…
Regional Organizations and the Responsibility to Protect in the Context of the Arab Spring
Normative constructions require, it would seem, common interpretation. Surely if interlocutors do not mean the same thing when they talk of crimes against humanity, for instance, or at least perceive themselves to be sharing a common understanding of the subject matter, negotiation and dialogue are unlikely to lead to results. Or is it instead the vagueness and indeterminacy of the terminology that makes it amenable to consensus? In other words, …
Morgenthau, Law and Realism
Although he is widely regarded as the 'founding father' of realism in International Relations, this book argues that Hans J. Morgenthau's legal background has largely been neglected in discussions of his place in the 'canon' of IR theory. Morgenthau was a legal scholar of German-Jewish origins who arrived in the United States in 1938. He went on to become a distinguished professor of Political Science and a prominent commentator on international …
Gangs, Urban Violence, and Security Interventions in Central America
Urban violence is a major preoccupation of policymakers, planners and development practitioners in cities around the world. Public authorities routinely seek to contain such violence through repression, as well as through its exportation to and containment at the periphery of metropolitan centres. Yet, urban violence is a highly heterogeneous phenomenon and not amenable to reified diagnosis and coercive intervention. Muscular state-led responses …
Hans J. Morgenthau on the Limits of Justiciability in International Law
Morgenthau and the Return to Ethics in a Realist Theory of Power Politics
Peace, Security and Development in Post-Conflict Environments
This article presents a critical overview of the contemporary practice of post-conflict peacebuilding (PCPB), arguing that contemporary post-conflict operations rest upon the assumption that a sophisticated social engineering approach could replace, or accelerate, a process of state formation that occurs rather more organically. Yet, PCPB is subject to the same tensions and dilemmas as the process of state formation. Many recent post-conflict rec…
Divisible Sovereignty and the Reconstruction of Iraq
Seeking to make sense of conflicting views regarding the continued relevance of the notion of sovereignty, this article argues that there is a discrepancy between international norms and practices. This discrepancy is rooted in conflicting understandings of the term sovereignty. By building on the link between sovereignty, the state of emergency, and the dialectic of auctoritas and potestas, this article proposes a new reading of sovereignty base…
