Togetherness after terror
This article examines the forms and feelings of togetherness evident in both Manchester city centre and on social media during the first anniversary of the 22 May 2017 Manchester Arena bombing. To do this, we introduce a conceptual framework that conceives commemorative public atmospheres as composed of a combination of 'more or less digital' elements. We also present a methodological approach that combines the computational collection and analys…
Against network thinking
This article advances a critique of network thinking and the pathological sovereignty that it gives rise to. The network is ubiquitous as a metaphor for understanding the social, economic and political dynamics of the contemporary era. Implicitly drawing on an analogy with communications infrastructures such as the telegraph or internet, the network metaphor represents global politics in terms of nodes related to one another through conduit-like …

Resurrecting IR theory
As a discipline, international relations (IR) has become increasingly circumspect about the role and explanatory power of theories of international politics (e.g. Mearsheimer and Walt, 2013; Zambernardi, 2015). Research has exposed the particularity of once predominant theories of IR, the processes through which these theories were produced, the practices through which they became accepted, and what was ignored as a result. In so doing, scholars …
Reflecting On Our Strengths and Strategy
Hot Spots/Cold Spots
Tracing the political stakes of contemporary global urbanization requires a shift in focus from cities to infrastructure. Focusing on the dynamics of infrastructural urbanism gives a clearer understanding of the ontology and politics of the global urban than analyses focused on the city (for example, Magnusson 2011). This reorientation reveals a political dynamic of (dis)connection at the heart of global urbanization. This dynamic is exemplified …
Between us in the City
In this paper I consider the conceptual challenges for subjectivity and community in an era of global urbanisation. The urban environment comprises a complex assemblage of human and nonhuman entities. Urban political subjectivity is thus constituted by a distinctive relation with materiality. This reconceptualisation of the subject comprises a challenge to the classical morphology that has underpinned conceptions of citizenship and community. Thi…

Urbicide
The term ‘urbicide’ became popular during the 1992-95 Bosnian war as a way of referring to widespread and deliberate destruction of the urban environment. Coined by writers on urban development in America, urbicide captures the sense that the widespread and deliberate destruction of buildings is a distinct form of violence. Using Martin Heidegger’s notion of space and Jean-Luc Nancy’s idea of community, Martin Coward outlines a theoretical unders…
International Relations in the Post-Globalisation Era
This article addresses the question of whether the traditional conceptual problematics that have defined the discipline of international relations (IR) are adequate to the contemporary global order. I propose that the sterile choice between the theoretical tropes of statism and globalisation which has defined recent IR scholarship prevents getting to grips with the ‘post-globalisation’ nature of phenomena such as al-Qa'eda terrorism and the war o…
The Imperial Character of the Contemporary World Order
The Imperial Character of the Contemporary World Order Martin Coward (bio) David Harvey, The New Imperialism (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2003) Michael Mann, Incoherent Empire (London: Verso, 2003) The predominant motif in investigations into questions concerning the nature and possibilities of contemporary world order has been that of ‘empire’. A small industry of speculations on the imperial nature of our times has appeared since late 2001…
The Globalisation of Enclosure
This article examines the question of global order in the contemporary historical conjuncture. I argue that Hardt and Negri's Empire provides a response to such a question. This response is necessary given the manner in which globalisation theory's explanation of global order has been contested by the George W Bush regime. An exegesis of the manner in which Empire delineates global order in the contemporary era provides, moreover, a fruitful enco…
