Hope under the shadow of the mushroom cloud: From the crisis of nuclear modernity to the “miracle” of a world free of nuclear weapons
This article reconstructs Hannah Arendt’s arguments in relation to crisis and hope against the rise of modern society, with a focus on the global crisis posed by nuclear weapons. Although Arendt was critical of twentieth century utopianism, she provides a standpoint for non-perfectionist utopian hope in the twin phenomena of natality and political action. Braiding together Arendt’s account of the modern world with the invention of atomic weapons,…
Global crises and utopian hope: An introduction
As humanity faces the prospect of imminent civilizational catastrophe, the aspirational sense that the future contains the potential for better ways of living and being appears to be fading under the strain of pervasive polycrisis. This special issue focuses on the question of whether it remains possible to reanimate critical utopian hope in the current climate of profound anxiety, pessimism, and dread over the multiple, intersecting global crise…

Recognition and Global Politics: Critical encounters between state and world
"The notion of recognition, drawing on the philosophy of Hegel, has become increasingly central to international debates in recent years, yet there have been few attempts to critically examine new theoretical positions and empirical analyses of its possible meanings, limits and manifestations. Recognition and global politics examines the potential and limitations of the discourse of recognition as a strategy for reframing justice and injustice wi…
Camus and the Challenge of Political Thought: Between Despair and Hope
Epilogue
Camus’s short story, ‘Jonas or the Artist at Work’, depicts the predicament of Gilbert Jonas, a struggling painter who suddenly finds fame. As a result of his newfound success, Jonas is inundated with public demands and soon his apartment is besieged by numerous visitors. He is even thronged by ‘a school’ of disciples: ‘The disciples explained to Jonas at length what he had painted, and why. Jonas thus discovered in his work many intentions that …

Current Developments at the International Criminal Court
In Lubanga , 1 the Appeals Chamber 2 held that it is not necessary to prove that a child joined armed forces against his or her will to establish the crime of conscription. Rather, the element of compulsion necessary can be established by demonstrating that an individual under the age of 15 years joined the armed forces or group due to, inter alia, a legal obligation, brute force, threat of force or psychological pressure amounting to coercion. 3…
Farewell to Teleology: Reflections on Camus and a Rebellious Cosmopolitanism without Hope
This paper reconstructs Albert Camus's notion of the absurd in order to elucidate his critique of historical teleology. In his life and work, Camus endeavoured to develop a fallibilist historical sensibility suitable for a cosmos shorn of meaning, which led him to reject ideas of progress and their traces of messianism when elaborating his treatment of rebellion. By making use of Camus's ideas about the absurd and rebellion, I suggest that these …
From Political Friendship to Befriending the World
Political friendship is typically portrayed as a dyadic relationship. In this traditional model, friendship is conceived as a positive intersubjective experience of relation-to-self and relation-to-other, assuming the reciprocity and equality characteristic of symmetrical relations of recognition. This essay explores an alternative, triadic model of political friendship suggested by the work of Hannah Arendt. Arendt makes the claim, at odds with …

Albert Camus and Rebellious Cosmopolitanism in a Divided Worlda
Albert Camus's existential thinking has been the object of renewed interest over the past decade. Political theorists have looked to his work to shed light on the contradictions and violence of modernity and the dynamics of postcolonial justice. This article contends that Camus's account of the modern human condition provides a means of engaging critically with one of the most compelling ideas linked to thinking about global politics today: cosmo…

The human right to health and the struggle for recognition
Persistent health inequalities exist globally, affecting high-income countries and blighting the developing world. Health inequalities currently are one of the greatest challenges facing realisation of the human right to health. This article argues that the struggle for the right to health in the face of such inequalities requires embracing three critical considerations: redistribution, representation, and recognition. While the analysis of the r…

Political Evil in a Global Age: Hannah Arendt and International Theory
From Exclusion to Containment: Arendt, Sovereign Power, and Statelessness
Taking up Hannah Arendt's analysis of statelessness and her critique of sovereign power, this paper argues that the condition of 'rightlessness' has become normalized within the international order. In contrast to claims that globalization has undermined sovereignty, Arendt's work helps to illuminate how states continue to reinforce their power to exclude and contain stateless persons while simultaneously deploying the discourse of universal huma…
Superfluous Humanity: An Arendtian Perspective on the Political Evil of Global Poverty
This article seeks to move the debate about political evil within normative international theory into the realm of global poverty, through the work of Hannah Arendt. To that end, the article employs Arendt's conceptions of `superfluousness' and `banality of evil' to highlight how the international agenda reflects a narrow concern with one particular type of political evil, namely with gross violations of civil and political human rights, rather t…

Cosmopolitanism and the Need for Transnational Criminal Justice: The Case of the International Criminal Court
Writing in the aftermath of Adolf Eichmann’s dramatic prosecution in 1961 for his role in the Nazi genocide, Hannah Arendt suggested that the ‘need for a [permanent] international criminal court was imperative’ (Arendt 1963: 270). For Arendt, Eichmann’s trial in Jerusalem symbolized the unfortunate triumph of national interests over the demands of universal justice. In Arendt’s analysis, the Eichmann trial was flawed for a number of reasons, most…

A defense of peace as a human right
Recent years have seen increased debate about the contributions that human rights make to the creation of conditions of peace. However, less attention has been paid to the claim that peace itself is a genuine human right. Whereas some critics argue that a focus on rights results in an overly formal juridical account of peace at the expense of a more robust notion of positive peace, others contend that a legal framework of rights is all that is ne…

Rawls, Human Rights, and Cultural Pluralism: A Critique
In his 1993 Oxford Amnesty Lecture, John Rawls attempts to respond to some of the criticisms his theory of justice has received from those concerned with the international aspects of social justice, and in particular with universal human rights. Rawls takes what he refers to as the ‘law of peoples’ as the focus for his discussion. He claims that a general liberal theory of justice may be extended internationally and form the basis for a universal…
Selfhood at Sewanee
Between their own critical wills and social and academic expectations which meet and direct them at Sewanee, students imagine a self. "Self" is a sign of individuality for Sewanee students, a marker that divides and protects them the surroundings - or so it stems. Much ot my research unearthed much evidence suggesting the contrary, that the student self was most apparent when expressed in connections to the student body at large, in the form of a…
