Trading Place—Credit Space? On the Archaeological Evidence of Credit Practices
CONVINCING SOURCES OF EVIDENCE FOR THE USE OF CREDIT among medieval societies in northern Europe are typically limited or only indirectly available, and even written sources provide little detail of pledged objects or means of payment. Nevertheless, a number of artefacts found mainly in proto-urban trade centres can be more or less directly linked to credit systems or, at least, to overarching currency areas and the social concepts attached to th…

Sociability, Emotions, and Encounters with the Uncommon Other
Can socializing with an uncommon other contribute to world-making? In answering this question, this article highlights the role of emotions for sociability to exert influence on world politics. So far, neither sociability nor its relations with emotions has received much consideration in International Relations. To contribute to closing this gap, this article demonstrates that during sociability with an uncommon other, a two-part, concomitant emo…
Toward IR’s “Fifth Debate”
This article addresses growing calls for a fifth debate on international relations’ (IR) “race amnesia.” The central argument is two-fold. First, contrary to conventional wisdom, racial justice was not omitted in “orthodox” scholarship—in particular Morgenthau’s realism. On the contrary, classical realists repeatedly critiqued the lack of racial justice throughout their careers. Second, racial justice was not only a concern for Morgenthau but als…
Identity Discourses in Western Late Modernity and the Notion of “Liminal Space”
Constructing narratives that can combat people’s unease about their sense of belonging, by providing a sense of certainty and steadfastness, is a recurrent affect in the history of humanity. Perhaps change is, however, the only constant in this history. Over a hundred years ago, Max Weber bemoaned the transition to a rationalized modernity as “the disenchantment of the world,” which in turn had been inspired by similar concerns expressed by Fried…
Introduction
In a recent editorial, the Lancet reported that one of the consequences of pandemics is the detrimental impact “on the mental health of affected populations,” and the current COVID-19 one is no different. Since its out-break at the end of 2019, “depressed mood, anxiety, impaired memory, and insomnia” are constant companions of people around the world. Many even experience “stress, burnout, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder.” Amongst …
Realism, the War in the Ukraine, and the Limits of Diplomacy
Since the outbreak of the war in the Ukraine, realism has made a comeback in public discourses but it is not clear what realism actually means as it seems to stand for everything: from supporting the Ukraine against Russian aggression to the war is the West’s fault. This is the result of decades of not distinguishing between neorealism and classical realism and implicitly acknowledging neorealist storytelling of having systematized classical real…
Un(Coil)ing the Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a global effect on higher education. Overnight, entire degree programs had to be moved online. Whereas this meant that teaching and learning in political science and international relations also went into “emergency e-learning” mode, as a recent teacher spotlight in PS: Political Science & Politics termed it, moving online also offered opportunities. One opportunity is collaborative online international learning (COI…
Affect, practice, and change
How do practices change? To approach this in practice theory (PT) is a widely debated question. This article brings PT in conversation with the study of emotions in International Relations by considering the role of affect in practice changes. For it is affect that permeates the placiotemporal and bodily constellations during practice performances, continuously provoking changes in and through practices. In initiating this conversation, this arti…
Policing Intellectual Boundaries? Émigré Scholars, the Council on Foreign Relations Study Group on International Theory, and American International Relations in the 1950s
During the 1950s, several intellectual endeavors on both sides of the Atlantic aimed to further theoretical principles of IR. One of these endeavors was the Council on Foreign Relations Study Group on International Theory that met between December 1953 and June 1954. It brought together scholars from across academic disciplines and professions, but particularly noteworthy is the involvement of émigré scholars. Tracing their contribution, this art…
Modern Japanese Political Thought and International Relations
In an ever more globalized world, sustainable global development requires effective intercultural co-operations. This dialogue between non-western and western cultures is essential to identifying global solutions for global socio-political challenges. Modern Japanese Political Thought and International Relations critiques the formation of non-western International Relations by assessing Japanese political concepts to contemporary IR discourses si…
The Power of Dance
In recent years, growing concern in international relations to offer a more inclusive and active learning experience has led to the increased use of practical exercises, visual teaching materials like movies and fictional television, as well as social media and e-learning tools. Despite noteworthy achievements in bridging the everyday lives of international relations students, these teaching contributions have yet to explore its potential more co…
Approaching the unsynthesizable in international politics
This article addresses the question of how spatial difference manifests itself in International Relations discourses in an effort to theorize difference in international politics. In doing so, we focus on the concept of security in particular and demonstrate a paradox in its conceptualization. Despite the aspiration to capture global diversity, contemporary security discourses largely leave out the moment of subjectification in knowledge-construc…
Unlearning modernity
Recent re-readings of classical realism in International Relations have demonstrated that in their critique of modernity, mid-twentieth century realists put their focus on the development of a (self)critical and sceptical epistemology, a focus that often has been of little concern to other International Relations theories. So far, however, this debate on classical realism has not further elaborated realist methodologies, although this has the pot…
Crisis, Values, and the Purpose of Science
Shortly after finishing his Habilitation at the University of Geneva in 1934, Hans Morgenthau typed a lengthy manuscript entitled Über den Sinn der Wissenschaft in dieser Zeit und über die Bestimmung des Menschen ( On the Purpose of Science in These Times and on Human Destiny ). Underappreciated and little known in the ever-growing literature on Morgenthau and classical realism at large, this manuscript provided the foundation for a series of pub…
Power, Knowledge, and Dissent in Morgenthau’s Worldview
Power, Knowledge, and Dissent in Morgenthau's Worldview provides a comprehensive investigation into Hans Morgenthau's life and work. Identifying power, knowledge, and dissent as the fundamental principles that have guided his epistemology, ontology, and political agency, Felix Rösch argues that Morgenthau's lasting contribution to the discipline of International Relations is the central aspect of his worldview: the human condition of politics; an…
Émigré Scholars and the Genesis of International Relations
Pouvoir , puissance , and politics
Hans Morgenthau's concept of power is widely debated among scholars of International Relations. Superficial accounts present Morgenthau's concept of power in the Hobbesian tradition as a means of self-preservation; however, more thorough investigations demonstrate Morgenthau's psychogenic and praxeological understanding. By referring to Sigmund Freud and Max Weber, such accounts identify Morgenthauian power as the ability to dominate others. This…
Hooray! Hooray! the End of the World has been Postponed!’ Politics of Peace in the Adventures of Tintin
Tintin is a cultural icon whose popularity has led to critical assessments accusing the comic of perpetuating orientalist and racist images. This article presents a different reading of Tintin by asking a more fundamental question: what understanding of the political is manifested in Tintin's Adventures? I argue that Tintin creates a political sphere that fosters an image of peace which does not eradicate conflicts, but facilitates them. Bildung,…
The Human Condition of Politics
Classical realism and Morgenthau in particular have recently experienced a revived interest in International Relations (IR). The evolving debate has helped to contextualise and reconstruct Morgenthau's thought which until now had been misrepresented in structural realist and early poststructuralist interpretations. However, despite all of its achievements, we have yet to draw more attention to Morgenthau's contribution to contemporary IR theory. …
