For the good of mankind and to end all its wars
The history of nuclear weapons is intrinsically linked with the Pacific Ocean. The first (and so far, only) deployment of nuclear weapons in war occurred at the end of Second World War in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The decades that followed saw Pacific communities subjected to atomic testing. The use of atomic bombs against the people of Japan was justified by the United States and its allies by the expected rapid end of war through the Japanese sur…

This article focuses on how ni‐Va…
Forum
This forum urges international relations (IR) practitioners to rethink the nature of both failure and success, and their own responsibility in building an academy that enables scholars of all backgrounds to thrive. Reflecting on their own experiences, the contributors detail factors that commonly stymie promising work in IR. These range from the quotidian—rejections during peer review and frustrations around network-building—to more serious imped…

The pivotal generation
Nuclear ethics in the twenty-first century
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists published its most recent Doomsday Clock in the midst of a pandemic. According to the statement, ‘the potential for the world to stumble into nuclear war—an ever-present danger over the last 75 years—increased in 2020’. The infamous clock remains at 100 seconds to midnight, the closest it has ever been. The group called for world leaders to treat the global health crisis as a wake-up call for firm action, in …
Kant’s leap of faith
Kant’s moral and political philosophy have been widely acknowledged as an influential source of not only political liberalism (Rawls 1971, 2005) but also international relations (IR) (see, e.g. Bul
My heart was already cooked’
The number of studies on children in war has steadily increased in the fields of international relations, international law and moral philosophy in recent years. Most of this research has evolved around the legal and moral status of children in war. The status of girl soldiers is particularly intriguing, as it conflates common assumptions about both women and children as innocent victims of war. In this paper we look at narratives of children’s v…

Drowning under
This article considers the phenomenon of ‘state-extinction’: a situation in which a state faces a very real and imminent threat of literal disappearance from the surface of the Earth. By looking at the case of sinking small island states, this article explores the role and meaning of territory to statehood, while advancing the idea that rather than as a claim-right to territory, the situation of sinking island states should be understood through …
