The Liminal Figure of the Civilian and the Necropolitics of Protection
Recent literature on contemporary humanitarian governance brings to light complex rationales of care and control that give expression to the ongoing coloniality of power. This paper examines the protection of civilians (PoC) from a similar vantage point. Over the past few decades, the goal of protecting civilians has produced a broad assemblage meant to guide military, police, and humanitarian operations in conflict environments. This paper argue…
Global Assemblages of Security Governance and Contemporary International Intervention
This article draws from the concept of assemblages in order to examine the component parts of contemporary international interventions. It argues that in contrast mainstream analyses of statebuilding and peacebuilding, as well as more critical treatments that tie interventions to the concept of 'international order', the concept of assemblages offers a more compelling vantage point from which to examine the disparate lines of forces that make up …
Sovereign Power and the Biopolitics of Human Security
This article examines the manner in which the human security discourse enables a dual exercise of sovereign power and biopower. Drawing from the work of Michel Foucault and Giorgio Agamben, it argues that human security contributes to this dual exercise by conceptualizing a form of life rendered amenable to biopolitical technologies and rationalities while simultaneously defining the conditions of exceptionality that assist in sovereign power's a…
Empire and the Terrain of Democracy
Empire and the Terrain of Democracy Marc G. Doucet and Carlos Pessoa1 “What is necessary is an audacious act of political imagination to break with the past, like the one accomplished in the eighteenth century”. - Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri, Empire. Introduction Attempts to theorize the conditions of democratic social struggle over the past two decades have often been framed by the political, economic and social forces which have fallen unde…
A World beyond Politics? A Defense of the Nation-State
A World beyond Politics? A Defense of the Nation-State , Pierre Manent, Princeton NJ: Princeton University Press, 2006, pp. 216. Pierre Manent begins his book with a quotation taken from Paul Claudel's Poetics , which poses the questions, “Where am I? What time is it?” and adds “these are the inexhaustible questions we ceaselessly ask the world” (1). In using the quotation, Manent sets the object of his book as an attempt to lay out the contempor…
The Democratic Paradox and Cosmopolitan Democracy
Democracy's narrative on the source of legitimate political power contains a fundamental paradox which surfaces most clearly whenever there is an attempt to inaugurate a new democratic order. The new order is meant to be founded upon the consent of an authority — the people — which can only exist as such after the order is created. This research note begins with an examination of how this paradox re-emerges with the attempt to theorise cosmopolit…
Child's play: The political imaginary of international relations and contemporary popular children's films
Many scholars in International Relations (IR) have drawn from popular films to examine various problématiques that have informed the discipline's main theorisations. As Cynthia Weber remarks, popular films are powerful because they engage in the very ‘serious political work’ of mythologising the ‘truths’ and ‘realities’ which provide the foundation for many of IR's main theoretical envisionings of our world. To date, however, children's films hav…

The Possibility of Deterritorializing Democracy: Agonistic Democratic Politics and the Apec NGO Forums
Marc G. Doucet (*) Since leadership out of this mess does not seem to be coming from the traditional places anymore--not from politicians, political parties, the church, or academia--it is up to us--working people, the unemployed, young people, old people, people of color, first-nations people--to take up the mantle. We are going to have to form the citizen movements in our countries and across borders to take back democracy in their absence. Mau…
