From negative to positive internationalised protection
This article explores the growth of international civilian-protection concepts since the 1990s and the question of what protection means in a qualitative sense. It makes a significant intervention in advancing a typology of positive and negative protection , allowing more systematic analysis of whether protective practices fulfil the normative goals of internationalised protection and creating openings for expanded imagination of possible protect…

Conceptualizing good global statehood
This article explores the theoretical challenges for normatively progressive foreign policy following the rise of populist nationalism during the 2010s, using analytical concepts from the English School. It argues that populist nationalism exposes a problem of internal dissensus on the future trajectories of solidarist international society, within the Western states that have traditionally been its principal supporters. The ‘populist moment’ rev…
Commentary on Fiction
Each of these books offers a richly developed and nuanced account of the nature of fiction. And each poses major challenges to a view about which there is a near-consensus. Catharine Abell draws on a theory of the institutions of fiction to advance a systematic re-envisioning of the metaphysics and epistemology of the contents of stories. Gregory Currie argues that fiction’s relationship to the imagination, and the way stories communicate their c…
Reply to Abell’s and Currie’s comments on Gilmore’s Apt Imaginings
I am grateful to Catharine Abell and Gregory Currie for their incisive and productive commentaries on Apt Imaginings. In what follows, I will try to respond to their criticisms and identify where our points of agreement and disagreement lie. I argue in my book for normative discontinuity. This is the claim that the criteria governing the fit, aptness, or rationality of our responses to the contents of fictions and imaginings are not only differen…

Introduction
Still a ‘Force for Good’? Good International Citizenship in British Foreign and Security Policy
Research Highlights and Abstract Through an analysis of recent foreign policy discourse, in particular the UK approach to stabilisation, the article identifies distinctive similarities and continuities in the patterns of ethically-minded foreign policy, employed by the 1997–2010 Labour government and the Conservative-Liberal Democrat Coalition. The article makes a fresh engagement with the concept of Good International Citizenship, arguing for a …
Protecting the Other
The War on Terror has posed a difficult challenge for proponents of cosmopolitanism, through its invocation of cosmopolitan-like discourse, focused on emancipation, democracy promotion and the protection of human rights, in support of the controversial practices of warfighting and counterinsurgency, which sit uneasily with a cosmopolitan ethical position. More recently, the 2011 intervention in Libya has again highlighted the persistence of this …
The uncertain merger of values and interests in UK foreign policy
How should ethics and values relate to the British national interest? The idea that ethical commitments to distant non-citizens should occupy a position within British foreign policy was a controversial element of Labour's foreign policy during the early part of their 1997–2010 tenure. Rather than undermining traditional national interest concerns, one of the defining themes within Labour's foreign policy was that values and national interests we…
Grief and Belief
In her searching essay on the nature of grief in its real-world and fiction-directed forms, Catherine Wilson addresses two long-standing problems in the proper characterization of our engagement with works of art: Do we respond with genuine emotions to what we take to be only fictional? And, Why are we often drawn to certain kinds of tragic and distressing fictions despite the negative emotions that they seem to elicit? Wilson’s answer to the lat…

A kinder, gentler counter-terrorism
The current US counterinsurgency approach, introduced in 2006, has been highlighted as representing a significant shift in the US military’s approach to operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Restraint in the use of force, a focus on development projects and increased awareness of local cultures might be interpreted as signalling the emergence of a more reflective and empathetic US military, with greater acceptance of human security principles. This…
