Eco-anxiety and the self in a warming world: Conceptualising ontologically insecure communities
While much work has been done on ontological security relating to the state’s sense of self, whether addressing the role of migration, globalisation, and even membership to supranational entities like the European Union, scholars have explored less how creating ontological security could be an unexpected outcome in responding to anxiety around shared environmental spaces. In this paper, we conceptualise an ‘ontological insecurity community’ – whe…
The Dilemma of Dual Vulnerability in the Pursuit of Climate Justice
Climate change represents a profound theoretical challenge for IR and adjacent disciplines. It consists simultaneously of a series of disasters, in need of repair and redress, and a creeping unjust structural condition—a new normal with growing pernicious effects that transcend borders, recur over time, and disproportionately burden marginalized communities. Though scholars have developed frameworks for assessing both the episodic and structural …
What is the Arctic to the United States? Status anxiety, ontological security, and the evolution of US Arctic policy
The United States has long been a global power deeply entangled in regions like Europe and the Middle East, where its foreign policy has been anchored in clear ontological scripts – defender of democracy, bulwark against terrorism, guarantor of order. In contrast, the Arctic has historically lacked this symbolic and strategic integration into US identity. Despite its formal status as an Arctic state since the 1867 purchase of Alaska, the region h…
Who Influences Whom? Elite and Citizen Preferences Regarding Marijuana and Drug Legalisation in Latin America
In Latin America, public opinion support for drug legalisation is generally low. Yet since the 2010s, drug policy debates have grown, and some politicians became reform advocates. This may suggest a disconnect between elites and citizens. We tentatively explore the relationship between elites’ and citizens’ opinions using PELA and Latinobarómetro surveys. The findings suggest a more reciprocal relationship than we originally assumed, as the perce…
Security for the small: Materializing securitization in Finland and Norway
Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 ruptured Europe's security constellation, leading to historically neutral Finland and Sweden to seek NATO memberships. While there is literature on how NATO influences country's security apparatus, the impact of NATO on smaller states' securitization capacity remains unclear. We undertake 1) a discourse analysis of Norway and Finland's three respective Arctic strategies, 2) a discourse analysis of two…
Polar Stars: Toward an Epistemological Understanding of Security Constellations and the Arctic Case
The reemergence of great power competition, seen most significantly in the tension over Taiwan between the People’s Republic of China and the United States and in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, has sparked interest in the Arctic literature on whether and how great power competition might be emerging in the region. State-centric frameworks have emerged as the primary analytical frameworks within this burgeoning literature. While they offer impor…
