  • ‘Talking Past Each Other’? The Interlingual Politics of Translating Indigenous Sovereignty in Aotearoa/New Zealand

    Open Access•Lucas Knotter, Valentin Clavé-Mercier•ARTICLE•Millennium Journal of International…•2026

    International relations scholarship has recently made significant strides in acknowledging and analysing the international politics of translation. This paper contributes to such work by untangling the interlingual politics involved in contestations between Indigenous (Māori) and non-Indigenous sovereignty in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Analysing how different stakeholders advanced different understandings of sovereignty-translation throughout, respect…

  • La política conceptual de la cogobernanza con pueblos indígenas: Marcos discursivos en Aotearoa (Nueva Zelanda)

    Open Access•Valentin Clavé-Mercier•ARTICLE•Revista de Estudios Políticos•2026

    La cogobernanza está suscitando un creciente interés político, especialmente en el ámbito de las relaciones entre Estados y pueblos indígenas. Este artículo examina los distintos marcos discursivos articulados en Aotearoa (Nueva Zelanda) por las élites políticas y por actores indígenas en la disputa por definir un concepto tan extendido como controvertido. La investigación se basa en un análisis discursivo de documentos públicos y declaraciones m…

  • Māori Covid-19 responses as practices of indigenous sovereignty: The Political Significance of Grassroots Responses to the Pandemic

  • Indigenous political theory, metaphysical revolt, and the decolonial rearticulation of political ordering

    Open Access•Valentin Clavé-Mercier•ARTICLE•International Theory•2025•Cited by: 1•References: 18

    Colonization processes have resulted in the naturalization and universalization of a particular Eurocentric construction of political ordering. As a result, Indigenous claims of sovereignty – especially significant in settler colonial contexts since the 1960s and 1970s – have historically been obfuscated and are still construed as anomalies or impossibilities. Based on poststructuralist international relations theory and Indigenous political theo…

  • Sovereignty is still the name of the game: Indigenous theorising and strategic entanglement in Māori political discourses

    Open Access•Valentin Clavé-Mercier•ARTICLE•Review of International Studies•2024•Cited by: 4•References: 7

    In recent decades, sovereignty has come under increased academic scrutiny for being a Eurocentric notion antithetical to emancipatory politics, leading critical theory scholars to call for an overcoming or even abandonment of the concept. Paradoxical as it may seem, it nonetheless remains an appealing ideal for many colonised peoples. Indigenous activists and scholars have actively re-appropriated the language of sovereignty to encapsulate and ad…

  • Decolonising Political Concepts

    Open Access•Marie Wuth, Valentin Clavé-Mercier•BOOK•Decolonising Political Concepts•2023

    This book presents a transdisciplinary and transnational challenge to the enduring coloniality of political concepts, discussing the need to decolonise both their theoretical constructions as well as their substantive translations into practices. \n \nDespite the acclaimed twentieth-century decolonisation waves, coloniality still remains in subtle and obvious practices, in visible and invisible mechanisms of power, and in the privileging of certa…

  • Politics of Sovereignty: Settler Resonance and Māori Resistance in Aotearoa/New Zealand

    Open Access•Valentin Clavé-Mercier•ARTICLE•Ethnopolitics•2022•Cited by: 4•References: 10

    Both settler states and Indigenous peoples have mobilised sovereignty to either entrench or challenge the structure of settler colonialism. However, this historical deployment of co-existing and competing ‘politics of sovereignty’ is deeply missed by the predominant fixed and state-centrist analysis of sovereignty. Based on archival and documentary analysis discussing two pivotal moments of Aotearoa/New Zealand history, I expose how the Crown dis…
