A call for wildlife conservation policy evolution
This article examines the evolution of Community-Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) in Namibia in the face of accelerating climate change. While CBNRM has historically achieved success in aligning wildlife conservation with community empowerment and economic development, its effectiveness is increasingly constrained by environmental degradation driven by prolonged droughts and shifting climate patterns. Drawing on fieldwork conducted in 20…
Space Is the Ultimate Luxury
Bernard C. Moore and Luregn Lenggenhager’s Space Is the Ultimate Luxury is a deeply researched, meticulously argued and well-written contribution to scholarship on environmental governance, land po...
Sharpening the Tools of Foresight Analysis and Scenario Planning Through Engagement With Critical Security Studies
The methods of foresight analysis and scenario planning (FASP) are being applied in a wide range of use cases as institutions to plan for an uncertain future. Such efforts promise to mitigate future risk by informing action in the present. However, FASP approaches have failed to consider what lessons might be learned from the shortcomings of prior imaginative practices for risk mitigation. This article draws on work from Critical Security Studies…

A quantum model of climate change? Insights from community-based natural resource management in Namibia
Quantum approaches to International Relations (IR) offer theoretically rich explanatory frameworks attuned to the complexity and uncertainty of the social world. Recognizing that the payoff of quantum approaches to IR may be clarified through their application to empirical cases, we approach the radically complex and uncertain case of climate change's impacts on Community-Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) in Namibia from a quantum perspec…

Can active learning be asynchronous? Implementing online peer review assignments in undergraduate political science and international relations courses
The phenomenon known as emergency eLearning saw many institutions of higher education switch from face-to-face learning to virtual or online course delivery in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The transition posed a unique suite of challenges to instructors and students alike, especially in the case of active learning pedagogy. This article reflects on the experiences of a multi-institutional, multi-term pedagogical project that implemented pee…
Accounting for Climate Change in Community-Based Natural Resource Management
Community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) has emerged as a key technique for resource governance across much of southern Africa. While it was seen early on in its inception in many countries as a virtual panacea for sustainable development, its success has waned over time. While the predominant literature points to a number of reasons for diminished benefits, I argue in this article that climate change is the binding constraint to progr…

What Is the Role of Graduate Student Journals in the Publish-or-Perish Academy? Three Lessons from Three Editors-in-Chief
To be prepared to face the “publish-or-perish” reality of contemporary academia, early career scholars must develop capacity and confidence. While the publication practices of International Relations have received increasing attention in the last 20 years, concern remains around the preparedness of graduate students to participate confidently and competently in the publication process. As three former Editors-in-Chief of a graduate student journa…
Assessing Three Elements of “Canadian” International Relations
This research note addresses the ongoing debate over the existence of a “Canadian” International Relations (IR) by interrogating the university setting, the professoriate and important institutions of IR in the Canadian context. We not only contribute an update to the data but also enrol a larger number of Canadian universities and a wider sample of journals and conferences. Our analysis is structured around three existing groupings of institutio…
Beyond history
This edited collection provides a vast empirical base demonstrating African agency in international relations (IR). It builds on prior work by a growing number of scholars that suggests the question of African agency must be taken more seriously and strategically outlines a remarkedly broad spatial and chronological scope to ‘document African actors in a state of proactivity as opposed to the reactionary framing Africa is often given in internati…
