‘Having Your (Digital) Cake and Eating It’: Reconciling EU Strategic Narratives on Connectivity and Autonomy
This article examines the EU's evolving narratives concerning the governance of digital technologies, focusing on the intersection of geopolitical challenges and internal policymaking through the lens of the strategic narratives approach. This compares two key EU narratives relating to digital policy: on the one hand, the narrative on ‘digital connectivity’ which advocates collaboration, engagement and market inclusion, and on the other hand, the…
The European Union’s Approach to Strategic Technology Governance: The Case of AI
Strategic technologies have gained pivotal significance in the context of a return to great power politics, and with it, questions about their governance and regulation. These global develop- ments have particular resonance for the European Union (EU)— the world’s largest trading bloc with a strong commitment to a rules-based international system and far-reaching regulatory powers over its internal market. The changing global landscape raises per…
Chinese perceptions of the European Union in the 2020s: From hope to hostility
EU–China relations are complex and multifaceted, not least because of China’s escalating rivalry with the US and tensions in the transatlantic alliance. The EU has sought to adopt a nuanced approach to China, balancing partnership, competition and recognition as systemic rivals, but this hedging strategy has become increasingly difficult as bilateral interactions, and the global context have deteriorated. While much scholarly attention focuses on…
Visualising the Covid-19 pandemic through tropes: An autoethnographic and critical perspective
The article explores how the COVID-19 pandemic has intensified a narrative of uncertainty, perpetuating existing social hierarchies related to gender and racial discrimination. Using a critical visual IR framework, this study analyses visual representations of the pandemic, from 30 January 2020 – when the WHO declared it a Public Health Emergency of International Concern – through the end of 2021. It adopts an autoethnographic approach to identif…
Russia’s Multilateral Cyber Norm Promotion: The Duality of Great Power Projection and Digital Authoritarianism
Since the 2010s, the Russian Federation has devoted significant resources to promoting its own interpretation of cyber norms. To this end, Russia has engaged in various cyber dialogues in different multilateral settings. The article adopts a constructivist perspective to explain Russia’s role as a norm entrepreneur, shaped by its great power identity and underlying vulnerabilities both domestically and internationally. We examine Russia’s norm-pr…

Implicit hierarchies in the EU representation of refugees: A comparative text-analysis of the European Parliament's framing of Syrian and Ukrainian diasporas
The article explores the discursive representations of Syrian and Ukrainian refugees in the European Parliament (EP). The theoretical framework draws on Critical Securitisation Theory, pointing out the implicit hierarchies that affect the European Union (EU) reception policies in terms of race and gender. The main hypothesis is that a stigmatisation process based on race and gender affects the representation of refugees in the EU. Against this ba…
The ‘China Threat: Stereotypical representations in the US competition with China
When Donald Trump was elected, the idea of the ‘China Threat’ gained popularity. Nonetheless, this was not a novelty. From the early nineties, when the country consolidated its economic growth, concern had begun to spread that China would convert its economic resources into a military force to turn against the US. This article explores whether the concept of the China Threat may have been influenced by stereotypical representations rooted in US a…
Pride, not prejudice: National identity as a pacifying force in East Asia
Pride, not prejudice offers an innovative approach to the role of national identity and collective memory in east Asia. Eunbin Chung adopts an interdisciplinary theoretical framework and investigates the extent to which ‘the history problem’, a term used to refer to the existence of an unresolved past, still affects the interactions between the Chinese, Japanese and South Korean governments and society (p. 20). In contrast with conventional views…
