Rhythms of Heritage
Folk music is a cultural reminiscence, social ideals, and historical records of people, but numerous traditions are struggling with the issue of continuity in the environment of globalization and shifting musical realities. This article discusses how modern jazz improvisation has been used as a creative and culturally sensitive tool to maintain and recontextualize folk music traditions. Instead of seeing preservation as a conservation that is unc…
Ai-Enhanced Cultural Heritage Learning Platforms
AI-Enhanced Cultural Heritage Learning Platforms can be viewed as a paradigm shift in the convergence of the artificial intelligence, digital humanities, and technology-supported learning. With the growing digitization of collections in museums, archives, and culture institutions, the problem becomes not about gaining access to the collections, but about having meaningful interaction that further learning, interpretation, and cultural continuity.…
Platform rule
With over three billion users, Facebook has direct access to a larger population than any state or nonstate actor in history. This article examines Facebook’s power by constructing a political history of platform rule—the transnational exercise of state-like rulemaking by digital platforms that structure how networked publics form and interact. While much social media research rests on behavioral micro-foundations, this article mobilizes historic…

Algorithmic Governance and the International Politics of Big Tech
Big technology companies like Facebook, Google, and Amazon amass global power through classification algorithms. These algorithms use unsupervised and semi-supervised machine learning on massive databases to detect objects, such as faces, and to process texts, such as speech, to model predictions for commercial and political purposes. Such governance by algorithms—or “algorithmic governance”—has received critical scrutiny from a vast interdiscipl…
Transversal Politics of Big Tech
Our everyday life is entangled with products and services of so-called Big Tech companies, such as Amazon, Google, and Facebook. International relations (IR) scholars increasingly seek to reflect on the relationships between Big Tech, capitalism, and institutionalized politics, and they engage with the practices of algorithmic governance and platformization that shape and are shaped by Big Tech. This collective discussion advances these emerging …
A success story of reduction in childhood stunting and underweight in India
This study used a series of individual-level datasets from National Family Health Surveys conducted in 1998–99, 2005–06 and 2015–16 to assess the factors behind the reduction in childhood stunting and underweight in India between the years 1998–99 and 2015–16. A multivariable decomposition regression analysis was performed. Results showed that the prevalence of childhood stunting declined from 49.4% in 1998–99 to 34.9% in 2015–16. Over the same p…
Forum
This forum takes up the question of how to do work in Historical International Relations (IR). Especially in the past decade, scholars have debated what modes of analysis are best suited to this sort of work and how Historical IR relates to the disciplines of History and International Relations. The contributors to this forum intervene in these debates and converge on three issues facing Historical IR—questions of methods, ontology, and disciplin…
Corporate Sovereign Awakening and the Making of Modern State Sovereignty
The English East India Company's “company-state” lasted 274 years—longer than most states. This research note uses new archival evidence to study the Company as a catalyst in the development of modern state sovereignty. Drawing on the records of 16,740 managerial and shareholder meetings between 1678 and 1795, I find that as the Company grew through wars, its claim to sovereign authority shifted from a privilege delegated by Crown and Parliament …
Does use of solid fuels for cooking contribute to childhood stunting? A longitudinal data analysis from low- and middle-income countries
Using longitudinal data from the first and second waves of the Young Lives Study (YLS) in Ethiopia, India (Andhra Pradesh), Peru and Vietnam, conducted in 2002 and 2006–07, and a repeated measures mixed model, this study examined the effect of the use of solid fuels for cooking on childhood stunting among children aged 5–76 months. The analysis showed that in all four populations, the average height-for-age z -score (HAZ score) was much lower amo…
Mapping changes in district level prevalence of childhood stunting in India 1998-2016
The four rounds of National Family Health Survey (NFHS) conducted during 1992-93, 1998-99, 2005-06 and 2015-16 is main source to track the health and development related indicators including nutritional status of children at national and state level in India. Except NFHS-4, first three rounds of NFHS were unable to provides district-level estimates of childhood stunting due to the insufficient sample sizes. The small area estimation (SAE) techniq…
Navigating NGO–Government Relations in Human Rights
This research note unveils new archival evidence from Amnesty International's first twenty-five years (1961–1986) to shed light on the realization of international human rights as Amnesty balanced “nonpolitical politics” through multifaceted government relations.

How to Hold Unjust Structures Responsible in International Relations
Recent public discourse and political theory center on “structural” approaches of assigning responsibility for injustice in contrast to an “interactional” perspective. The interactional approach corrects discrete harms between agents to return to a just baseline, whereas the structural approach casts a wider net implicating agents in harmful structures for systemic transformation. This theory note advances the understanding of structural responsi…

Varieties of Social Construction
This article presents social construction as a research framework, rather than an explanatory theory in constructivism, to outline different research strategies. Varieties of constructivism thus far conceived in international relations prefer cleavages where scholars are regarded as thin/thick, conventional/critical, or mainstream/radical. In contrast, I introduce a new landscape of social construction to show unique mechanisms for socially const…
The Implications of Surveillance Capitalism for Addressing Real Struggles
Consequences of forced migration during early childhood on cognitive well-being in later childhood in Andhra Pradesh, India
Unlike its short-term impact on consumption and income, forced migration is expected to deliver a permanent shock to the overall well-being of households, specifically children in the stage of infancy. Studies on the effect of forced migration on child cognitive well-being are few in number. Therefore, the present study is intended to examine the consequences of forced migration during infancy on child cognition at later age. We hypothesized that…
Correlates of tobacco quit attempts and cessation in the adult population of India
