The Belt and Road City
If You Build It, They Will Come.” Infrastructure, Hegemonic Transition, and Peaceful Change
Hegemonic transition is typically associated with major power war. Relatively neglected is its association of systemic change with shifts in material and social infrastructure. This article develops a structural power model that highlights the importance of infrastructure to hegemonic control. It shows how the provision of systemic infrastructure connects the key structures of power in the international system, creating path dependencies and impo…
Telehealth transformation
The novel coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic has altered our economy, society, and healthcare system. While this crisis has presented the U.S. healthcare delivery system with unprecedented challenges, the pandemic has catalyzed rapid adoption of telehealth, or the entire spectrum of activities used to deliver care at a distance. Using examples reported by U.S. healthcare organizations, including ours, we describe the role that telehealth …
Global Cities as Market Civilisation
Building upon interdisciplinary efforts to understand the origins, logic and significance of global cities, this article argues that global cities should be seen as a critical component and outcome of a political project to generate a global market society. Global cities should be seen as the successful implementation of free-market political philosophy, constructed and defended by a particular historical configuration of international society. T…
The urban imperative
Urbanization has not been central to the agenda of scholars of international politics, who have largely viewed their object of analysis as the system of states and tended to dismiss cities as they are subnational entities. However, so profound has been the urban growth of the last four decades that this situation is beginning to change. Global urbanization is arguably the key trend of the early twenty-first century, and this is a critical moment:…
Cities and Global Governance
International society, so long the resolution to problems of collective political order, now appears to be failing in its capacity to deal with transnational challenges such as climate change, global security and financial instability. Indeed, the structure of international society itself has become a significant obstacle to such pressing issues of global governance. One striking response has been the reemergence of cities as important actors on …
Connectography
Connectography: mapping the global network revolution. By Parag Khanna. London: Weidenfeld and Nicolson. 2016. 466pp. £16.60. isbn 971 1 47460 423 9. Available as e-book. Parag Khanna begins Connectography by telling readers of the lifelong obsession with maps that underpinned his interest in international politics. In this new book, Khanna seeks to become a cartographer himself; and it is a surprisingly uncharted world that he seeks to map: the …
Assemblage Thinking and International Relations
In this introduction to the volume we locate the growing interest in assemblage thinking for international relations in its intellectual and historical context. Arguing that many different approaches to assemblage thinking exist, and eschewing the temptation to try to pin this style of thought down to a fixed theoretical perspective, we try to allow this volume to be an exploration of the potential for these ideas to transform international theor…
Reassembling International Theory
What can 'assemblage' thinking contribute to the study of international relations theory? This study seeks to investigate how the various debates on assemblages in social theory can contribute to gene
Beyond models and metaphors
The concepts, language and methods of complexity theory have been slowly making their way into international relations (IR), as scholars explore their potential for extending our understanding of the dynamics of international politics. In this article we examine the progress made so far and map the existing debates within IR that are liable to being significantly reconfigured by the conceptual resources of complexity. We consider the various onto…
Global cities and the transformation of the International System
The emergence of a new urban form, the global city, has attracted little attention from International Relations (IR) scholars, despite the fact that much progress has been made in conceptualising and mapping global cities and their networks in other fields. This article argues that global cities pose fundamental questions for IR theorists about the nature of their subject matter, and shows how consideration of the historical relationship between …
Towards a Second 'Second Debate'? Rethinking the Relationship between Science and History in International Theory
This article examines the contemporary disciplinary claims that the 'Second Debate' in international theory was partial and incomplete. Developing the view that the debate exclusively concerned positivist methods, not the status and merits of social scientific inquiry in international relations theory (IR) more broadly, the article advances an understanding of how contemporary 'social scientific' IR has begun to integrate historicist and generali…
Too Soon
In response to Minister Helen Coonan's discussion paper on media reform released in March, the authors survey the recent history of media ownership policy with particular reference to the Productivity Commission's visionary 2000 report on broadcasting. They argue that the present proposals fall short of the plan laid out in this report and are premature pending further development of digital media
