  • Left and Right as a Narrative of the Global

    Open Access•Alain Noël, Jean‐philippe Thérien•ARTICLE•Global Policy•2025

    The left–right narrative is the most universal macro‐story to make sense of global politics. Although the political opposition between the left and the right originated in the West, it has now spread to all continents. Nation‐states remain the primary locus of the politics of left and right, but the distinction has become a global divide that permeates foreign policies, transnational relations, and global governance debates. Building on the conce…

  • The North–South Distinction

    Open Access•Jean-Philippe Thérien, Jean‐philippe Thérien•ARTICLE•Global Studies Quarterly•2024•Cited by: 2•References: 6

    Rooted in the field of intellectual history, this article examines how the meaning of the North–South distinction has changed since its appearance in the 1960s. It explains how the largely consensual vision espoused during the early years has gradually given way to growing polarization and contestation. This evolution is unpacked by studying the genealogy of North–South narratives formulated through the ideologies of liberal internationalism and …

  • Global Policymaking

    Open Access•Vincent Pouliot, Jean-Philippe Thérien et al.•BOOK•Global Policymaking•2023

    This book analyzes the politics of global governance by looking at how global policymaking actually works. It provides a comprehensive theoretical and methodological framework which is systematically applied to the study of three global policies drawn from recent UN activities: the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015, the institutionalization of the Human Rights Council from 2005 onwards, and the ongoing promotion of the protect…

  • The political construction of the left-right divide

    Alain Noël, Jean-Philippe Thérien et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Political Ideologies•2021•Cited by: 7

    How universal and effective is the left-right opposition? We use public opinion data collected in 83 societies between 2008 and 2014 through the World Values Survey and the European Values Study, to look at the relationships, in each society, between individual ideological self-positioning and attitudes towards a set of eleven issues that capture the standard dimensions of the left-right political distinction. We observe varying levels of nationa…

  • Global governance as patchwork

    Jean-Philippe Thérien, Jean‐philippe Thérien et al.•ARTICLE•Review of International Political…•2019•Cited by: 10•References: 11

    This article develops an analytical framework geared at making sense of global governance as patchwork. Our three-step methodology operationalizes the concept of ‘bricolage’ by focusing on the political practices and the value struggles that underpin the making of global public policies. This framework throws light on the widespread contestation over the objectives and solutions that should be pursued globally, as well as on the dynamics of inclu…

  • Global Governance

    Vincent Pouliot, Jean-Philippe Thérien et al.•ARTICLE•International Studies Review•2017•Cited by: 18•References: 23

    Why is it so complicated to achieve collective action in global governance? This article focuses on one explanatory factor, according to which the global stage is pervaded by normative divisions. Our article helps advance this argument in three ways, by specifying the nature, scope, and mechanics of the global value struggle. First, we show that the distinct visions that clash in the conduct of global governance are formulated in a peculiar idiom…

  • The politics of inclusion

    Open Access•Vincent Pouliot, Jean-Philippe Thérien et al.•ARTICLE•Review of International Studies•2015•Cited by: 6•References: 22

    The debate on the reform of the Security Council can be conceptualised as the most recent episode in the evolution of World Governing Councils (WGCs), that is, the highest-level intergovernmental bodies charged with regulating the international use of violence. Building on a historical comparison of key formative and transformative moments – 1815, 1919, 1945, and post-Cold War – we argue that the modern evolution of WGCs is characterised by incre…

  • The United Nations ideology

    Jean-Philippe Thérien, Jean‐philippe Thérien•ARTICLE•Journal of Political Ideologies•2015•Cited by: 8

    Building on the observation that the UN is a key intellectual actor of world politics, I argue that the end of the cold war marked a turning point in the evolution of UN thinking. The first part of the article puts forward a conceptual framework centred on the notions of global governance, ideology and global public policy. It shows that these three notions are useful tools for an understanding of the production and diffusion of UN ideas. This co…

  • Identity and Foreign Policy

    Open Access•Jean-Philippe Thérien, Jean‐philippe Thérien et al.•ARTICLE•Latin American Politics and Society•2013•Cited by: 1•References: 25

    Using Canada's relations with the Americas as a case study, this article seeks to better understand the link between identity and foreign policy. It argues that there is a gap between the Canadian government's recent efforts to construct a state identity increasingly turned toward the Americas and Canadians' national identity as it is expressed through public opinion. It concludes that the most plausible explanation for this gap probably has to d…

  • The Changing Dynamics of Inter‐American Security

    Open Access•Jean‐philippe Thérien, Gordon Mace et al.•ARTICLE•Latin American Policy•2012•Cited by: 1•References: 9

    This article argues that, thanks to the progress of hemispheric multilateralism since the end of the Cold War, the conditions for identifying a nascent security community have been fulfilled in the Americas. The evolution has not been perfectly linear, and in light of the tensions that have marked inter‐American relations during the past few years, it remains an open question whether the renewal of security cooperation can be pursued in the futur…

  • Human Security

    Jean-Philippe Thérien, Jean‐philippe Thérien•ARTICLE•Global Society•2012•Cited by: 5

    Inspired by the conclusions of the United Nations Intellectual History Project, this article seeks to enrich the ongoing discussion on the role of ideas in UN activities. The focus here is on security, an issue often regarded as the organisation's raison d'être. The article argues that over the past two decades the ideology of human security has been the driving normative force behind the global policies advocated by the UN in the area of securit…

  • Canada and the Security of the Americas

    Open Access•Gordon Mace, Jean-Philippe Thérien et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal Canada s…•2012

    Since 1940 the Americas have been fairly peaceful compared to other regions of the world. Although Central America was racked by extremely violent civil wars during the 1980s, over the past few decades the region as a whole has not experienced many military conflicts between states. Barely a handful of the various territorial disputes, past or present, have led to open warfare. The last significant episode, the 1995 war between Peru and Ecuador, …

  • The United Nations and Global Democracy

    Open Access•Jean-Philippe Thérien, Jean‐philippe Thérien et al.•ARTICLE•Cooperation and Conflict•2009•Cited by: 5•References: 8

    This article shows that the idea of global democracy has been a driving force in UN discourse and policies for the past two decades. In the first part, we use official rhetoric to explain that the promotion of global democracy by the UN rests on a particular set of values and beliefs. In an analysis that parallels the interpretation proposed by cosmopolitan democratic theorists, UN leaders argue that international governance must be democratized …

  • Left and Right in Global Politics

    Open Access•Alain Noël, Jean-Philippe Thérien et al.•BOOK•Left and Right in Global Politics•2008

    Few notions are as universal as the idea of a left-right divide in politics. Despite its death being frequently foretold, the left-right metaphor remains the most common lens through which to interpret political life locally, nationally and globally. Left and Right in Global Politics argues that the left-right divide connects these different levels into a world political debate. Interpreting the left-right dichotomy as an enduring debate about eq…

  • The Global Compact

    Jean-Philippe Thérien, Jean‐philippe Thérien et al.•ARTICLE•Global Governance A Review of…•2006•Cited by: 11

    The UN Global Compact epitomizes the current state of the politics of international development in three distinct ways. First, the Compact illustrates a major turn in development thinking. After decades of hostile relations, the UN and business now acknowledge their common interest in the promotion of sustainable development. Second, the Compact brings light the gradual emergence of more inclusive forms of global governance, in response the failu…

  • Divided over Internationalism

    Alain Noël, Jean-Philippe Thérien et al.•ARTICLE•Canadian Public Policy•2004•Cited by: 12•References: 12

    This analysis of public opinion towards foreign aid shows that Canadians are divided over internationalism. First, while most citizens agree that development assistance is important, their support often remains shallow, unmatched by a commitment to undertake concrete actions. Second, the attitudes Canadians hold toward development assistance indicate that there is a clear division in the country’s public between liberal and conservative internati…

  • The Inter‐American regime of citizenship

    Andrew F Cooper, Jean‐philippe Thérien•ARTICLE•Third World Quarterly•2004•Cited by: 3

    Recent years have brought about a strengthening of inter‐American co‐operation in the areas of both human rights and democracy. Up to now, however, little attention has been devoted to the manner by which these two components of the inter‐American system are connected. The central argument of our article is that the concept of a citizenship regime provides an essential vehicle for bridging this gap. This notion makes it possible to recognise hemi…

  • Debating foreign aid

    Jean-Philippe Thérien, Jean‐philippe Thérien•ARTICLE•Third World Quarterly•2002•Cited by: 5•References: 26

    Foreign aid is a complex international institution which, over the years, has experienced a number of transformations. Most of these changes, however, cannot be understood outside the ideological environment in which they were engendered. Building on this analytical insight, the article argues that the debate on development assistance has always been framed in terms of an opposition between forces of the Right and forces of the Left. The first pa…

  • Public Opinion and Global Justice

    Open Access•Alain Noël, Jean-Philippe Thérien et al.•ARTICLE•Comparative Political Studies•2002•Cited by: 27•References: 49

    The concept of global justice has been developed to stress the worldwide implications of moral problems. Not much, however, has been written about the actual politics of global justice. This article focuses on public opinion and argues that attitudes about international redistribution are not a simple projection of attitudes about the domestic situation. In countries where domestic income redistribution is seen as an important priority, foreign a…

  • Development assistance on the brink

    Jean-Philippe Thérien, Jean‐philippe Thérien et al.•ARTICLE•Third World Quarterly•2000•Cited by: 4•References: 21

    The international aid regime is currently faced with a major paradox. On the one hand, officials in bilateral and multlateral agencies increasingly agree that 'aid matters' and can contribute significantly to development. This confidence has been reinforced by the fact that, after a decade dominated by the objective of structural adjustment, the much less controversial one of sustainable development has taken over as the new mantra of aid policie…

  • Political Parties and Foreign Aid

    Open Access•Jean-Philippe Thérien, Jean‐philippe Thérien et al.•ARTICLE•American Political Science Review•2000•Cited by: 104•References: 52

    The influence of partisan politics on public policy is a much debated issue of political science. With respect to foreign policy, often considered as above parties, the question appears even more problematic. This comparison of foreign aid policies in 16 OECD countries develops a structural equation model and uses LISREL analysis to demonstrate that parties do matter, even in international affairs. Social-democratic parties have an effect on a co…

  • Beyond the North-South divide

    Jean-Philippe Thérien, Jean‐philippe Thérien•ARTICLE•Third World Quarterly•1999•Cited by: 19•References: 25

    For more than a generation the North-South divide was central to the explanation of world poverty. In recent years, however, the North-South analytical framework has been upset by the emergence of two competing approaches: the 'Bretton Woods paradigm' and the 'UN paradigm'. Both approaches emphasise the impact of globalisation, but they differ considerably in their world-views, interpretations of the determinants of poverty and political platform…

  • From domestic to international justice

    Open Access•Alain Noël, Jean-Philippe Thérien et al.•ARTICLE•International Organization•1995•Cited by: 93•References: 69

    Foreign aid often is interpreted as an international projection of domestic income redistribution mechanisms, and many authors suggest that differences between welfare states account for variations in donor behavior. A new understanding of the welfare state can improve traditional explanations of this linkage. Existing studies of the welfare–aid relationship use two welfare state indicators: domestic spending and partisan politics. We propose a t…

In short, Canadian aid policy to Africa is increasingly influenced by the international aid regime. We do not de…

  • From domestic to international justice

    Open Access•Alain Noël, Jean-Philippe Thérien et al.•ARTICLE•International Organization•1995•Cited by: 93•References: 69

    Foreign aid often is interpreted as an international projection of domestic income redistribution mechanisms, and many authors suggest that differences between welfare states account for variations in donor behavior. A new understanding of the welfare state can improve traditional explanations of this linkage. Existing studies of the welfare–aid relationship use two welfare state indicators: domestic spending and partisan politics. We propose a t…

    Open Access•David R Black, Jean-Philippe Thérien et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal Canada s…•1996•Cited by: 1

    This article examines the development of Canadian foreign aid policy to Africa, particularly since 1980. We argue that the principles and rules governing Canadian assistance to Africa are increasingly defined at the systemic level, by and among the community of aid donors, rather than at the domestic level, by Canadian decision-makers. In short, Canadian aid policy to Africa is increasingly influenced by the international aid regime. We do not de…

  • Beyond the North-South divide

    Jean-Philippe Thérien, Jean‐philippe Thérien•ARTICLE•Third World Quarterly•1999•Cited by: 19•References: 25

    For more than a generation the North-South divide was central to the explanation of world poverty. In recent years, however, the North-South analytical framework has been upset by the emergence of two competing approaches: the 'Bretton Woods paradigm' and the 'UN paradigm'. Both approaches emphasise the impact of globalisation, but they differ considerably in their world-views, interpretations of the determinants of poverty and political platform…

  • Development assistance on the brink

    Jean-Philippe Thérien, Jean‐philippe Thérien et al.•ARTICLE•Third World Quarterly•2000•Cited by: 4•References: 21

    The international aid regime is currently faced with a major paradox. On the one hand, officials in bilateral and multlateral agencies increasingly agree that 'aid matters' and can contribute significantly to development. This confidence has been reinforced by the fact that, after a decade dominated by the objective of structural adjustment, the much less controversial one of sustainable development has taken over as the new mantra of aid policie…

  • Political Parties and Foreign Aid

    Open Access•Jean-Philippe Thérien, Jean‐philippe Thérien et al.•ARTICLE•American Political Science Review•2000•Cited by: 104•References: 52

    The influence of partisan politics on public policy is a much debated issue of political science. With respect to foreign policy, often considered as above parties, the question appears even more problematic. This comparison of foreign aid policies in 16 OECD countries develops a structural equation model and uses LISREL analysis to demonstrate that parties do matter, even in international affairs. Social-democratic parties have an effect on a co…

  • Debating foreign aid

    Jean-Philippe Thérien, Jean‐philippe Thérien•ARTICLE•Third World Quarterly•2002•Cited by: 5•References: 26

    Foreign aid is a complex international institution which, over the years, has experienced a number of transformations. Most of these changes, however, cannot be understood outside the ideological environment in which they were engendered. Building on this analytical insight, the article argues that the debate on development assistance has always been framed in terms of an opposition between forces of the Right and forces of the Left. The first pa…

  • Public Opinion and Global Justice

    Open Access•Alain Noël, Jean-Philippe Thérien et al.•ARTICLE•Comparative Political Studies•2002•Cited by: 27•References: 49

    The concept of global justice has been developed to stress the worldwide implications of moral problems. Not much, however, has been written about the actual politics of global justice. This article focuses on public opinion and argues that attitudes about international redistribution are not a simple projection of attitudes about the domestic situation. In countries where domestic income redistribution is seen as an important priority, foreign a…

  • Divided over Internationalism

    Alain Noël, Jean-Philippe Thérien et al.•ARTICLE•Canadian Public Policy•2004•Cited by: 12•References: 12

    This analysis of public opinion towards foreign aid shows that Canadians are divided over internationalism. First, while most citizens agree that development assistance is important, their support often remains shallow, unmatched by a commitment to undertake concrete actions. Second, the attitudes Canadians hold toward development assistance indicate that there is a clear division in the country’s public between liberal and conservative internati…

  • The Inter‐American regime of citizenship

    Andrew F Cooper, Jean‐philippe Thérien•ARTICLE•Third World Quarterly•2004•Cited by: 3

    Recent years have brought about a strengthening of inter‐American co‐operation in the areas of both human rights and democracy. Up to now, however, little attention has been devoted to the manner by which these two components of the inter‐American system are connected. The central argument of our article is that the concept of a citizenship regime provides an essential vehicle for bridging this gap. This notion makes it possible to recognise hemi…

    The UN Global Compact epitomizes the current state of the politics of international development in three distinct ways. First, the Compact illustrates a major turn in development thinking. After decades of hostile relations, the UN and business now acknowledge their common interest in the promotion of sustainable development. Second, the Compact brings light the gradual emergence of more inclusive forms of global governance, in response the failu…

  • Left and Right in Global Politics

    Open Access•Alain Noël, Jean-Philippe Thérien et al.•BOOK•Left and Right in Global Politics•2008

    Few notions are as universal as the idea of a left-right divide in politics. Despite its death being frequently foretold, the left-right metaphor remains the most common lens through which to interpret political life locally, nationally and globally. Left and Right in Global Politics argues that the left-right divide connects these different levels into a world political debate. Interpreting the left-right dichotomy as an enduring debate about eq…

  • The United Nations and Global Democracy

    Open Access•Jean-Philippe Thérien, Jean‐philippe Thérien et al.•ARTICLE•Cooperation and Conflict•2009•Cited by: 5•References: 8

    This article shows that the idea of global democracy has been a driving force in UN discourse and policies for the past two decades. In the first part, we use official rhetoric to explain that the promotion of global democracy by the UN rests on a particular set of values and beliefs. In an analysis that parallels the interpretation proposed by cosmopolitan democratic theorists, UN leaders argue that international governance must be democratized …
