Interrogating whiteness in International Relations
The dynamics of knowledge production in the discipline of international relations (IR) frequently reproduce problematic and outdated idea(l)s about what counts as ‘proper’ scholarship, with positivist research setting the standard for legitimacy. This essay challenges the racialised hierarchies that reproduce unreflective endorsement of these (white, Western) ‘standards’ of knowledge production. Our review begins with an elaboration of epistemic …
Foreign Policy Futures
Indigenous peoples have long been excluded from international affairs, often as a result of anachronistic views of how we relate to issues within these spheres of policy, as well as the supposed lack of input we have on issues of global significance, and how our respective states act within the international system. Research on Indigenous peoples and foreign policy, including on our unique ontologies and epistemologies is still ongoing. However, …
Decolonising Australia's International Relations? A Critical Introduction
Australia's international relations (IR) discipline has a deep colonial history, but has never been through a conscious process of decolonisation. Although discussions of decolonising IR have taken place elsewhere, the discussion in Australia is in its infancy. This collection examines the possibilities for decolonising Australia's IR in the present moment, looking at its teaching practice, its research, its styles of analysis, and its relationsh…
Relational Wiradyuri approaches to diplomacy
Issues in Australian Foreign Policy January to June 2022
The start of 2022 presented unique challenges for Australia, after an end to 2021 very much muted by the COVID-19 pandemic and associated state lockdowns, most of which started to ease around late-November of that year. Gabriele Abbondanza and Thomas Wilkins, writing about the final half of 2021, talked about these key issues faced by Australia during this period, including the continuance of COVID-19, our relationship (or lack thereof) with Chin…
Administering inequality? The National Disability Insurance Scheme and administrative burdens on individuals
Over the last 30 years, governments have sought to give citizens greater choice and control of the public services they utilise. As a result, we have seen the creation of various forms of public sector markets, including through contracting and tendering processes and, more recently, by utilising individualised or ‘personalised’ care budgets. Under the latter, individuals are given money to purchase services that meet their needs. There is growin…
Cognitive hyper-dissonance
Military Exercises provide practice in the art of war; they also send messages of political resolve. The Cold War record of signaling nuclear intent through military exercises reveals that most of the time both sender and receiver misperceive each other’s messages. Today’s nuclear armed states must design their exercise programs to communicate the messages they want others to understand
The Bomb that Keeps on Ticking …And Keeps Us Safe
The United States Air Force has returned from its nuclear modernization and intellectual holidays. The B61 Life Extension Program and nuclear capability for the F-35 fighter are at the leading edge of a flight plan that vectors the institution to rebuild the nation's extended deterrent; its two legs of our strategic triad; and nearly all nuclear command, control, and communications infrastructure, to deter emerging nuclear threats and assure alli…
Negro Building
Employing the lens of African American public history and contested public spaces, Negro Building demonstrates how blacks in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century America used community spaces as platforms for activism. Beginning with the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia and ending with several black-organized expositions in 1963, Mabel O. Wilson contends that fairs and museums played a critical role in the creation of African Am…
