Ocean Governance, Maritime Security, and International Relations
Taking as a starting point Philip Steinberg’s seminal insights on the social construction of the ocean, in this article we examine the maritime environment as a social space, seeking to connect contemporary debates on ocean governance, maritime security, and International Relations (IR). From this standpoint, we investigate how different narratives about the sea guide the way ocean governance has developed in the past and projects into the future…
Food Defence
The notion of food defence emerged in the USA following the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, reflecting the idea that the food sector constitutes a critical infrastructure for national security and that the food system must be defended against intentional acts, motivated by political or ideological reasons, that could cause large-scale damage to public health or the economy. This study draws on primary documentary sources on food defence, …
Brazilian Dystopian Futures
Relying on the so-called IR aesthetic turn and taking advantage of the critical and epistemic qualities of cinema, this article explores how some Brazilian science fiction (SF) films offer a sensitive and reflective interpretation of Brazil and its place in the world, which should be valued in the study of international politics. Within this proposal, the article analyses four emblematic movies from the scarce historiography of Brazilian SF cinem…
Geopoetics
In line with the critical movement that in the last two decades has led to an ‘aesthetic turn’ in the International Relations (IR) field, this article introduces the notion of geopoetics as a useful conceptual category for the analysis of peace, security, and politics. Conceiving geopoetics as an operative concept that helps to understand the political and social experience of geographical space through the most varied forms of artistic expressio…

The causal power of securitisation
This article joins the nascent debate on the causal status of securitisation theory. Relying on critical realist’s efforts to deepen and broaden the concept of cause – defined as ‘causal complex’ – and its insights to integrate discourse and constitutive relations into a non-positivist framework for causal explanation, the article aims to explore the explanatory status of securitisation theory, without downgrading its discursive core. To illustra…
Reconstructive Methodology and Critical International Relations Theory
Drawing on the work of the latest generation of social philosophers institutionally or intellectually linked to the Frankfurt School, this article examines the critical-reconstructive-explanatory methodology that became a distinguishing feature of contemporary critical theory after its 'reconstructive turn'. The article aims to show how these recent developments can contribute to overcoming the various criticisms that continue to challenge Critic…
New wars’ at sea
Relying on the literature on the political economy of new wars, this article aims to challenge the policy articulation of Somali piracy through the security–development nexus in recent resolutions of the UN Security Council. The article’s central argument is that the UN Security Council’s assumption that the political economy of piracy can be transformed by external top-down intervention based on a formulaic security–development nexus seems to be…
Naval Peacekeeping and Piracy
Although peacekeeping operations on the ocean have never held a central position in security studies or peace and conflict studies, a small body of work has been produced on what has been called ‘naval peacekeeping’. This article argues that empirical insights provided by intervention against piracy in the Horn of Africa from 2008 suggest a critical turn in the naval peacekeeping debate, from a perspective primarily concerned with identifying unc…
Um filme falado e a construção calculada do sublime
Com base numa perspetiva crítica dos estudos de segurança e no que tem sido chamado de "viragem estética na teoria política internacional", este artigo recorre a Um filme falado do realizador português Manoel de Oliveira, a fim de mostrar como a estética do sublime é calculadamente articulada no filme para produzir o 'efeito-choque' e transmitir uma ideologia − a do choque das civilizações - contribuindo, assim, para reforçar o discurso securitiz…
Relações entre civis e militares nas operações de paz
No contexto das operações de peacekeeping, militares e civis interagem na execução de um amplo espectro de actividades, o que tem levado à formulação dos modelos de integração genericamente designados pela expressão civil-military cooperation (CIMIC). Neste artigo, defendo que os modelos do tipo CIMIC, embora pretendam ajustar as relações civis-militares ao ambiente complexo das operações de peacekeeping, na verdade continuam presos à lógica estr…
