Sex, Power, and the Grail of Positive Collaboration
The hierarchy of methodological dominance/subordinance led to the presumption that positivism could account for the meaning of all experience. Positive collaboration is uncompetitive, empathetic cooperation. It is a self-affirming, socially constructive practice that has nothing to do with the conflict spectrum that nonempathetic cooperation and competition lie along. Like the most radical forms of feminism, positive collaboration is an evanescen…

In pursuit of world peace
In the modernist context that frames contemporary world affairs, questions about the pursuit of world peace are typically answered in terms that prioritize the use of reason as an end in itself. Modernist rationalism is not the only way in which questions about the pursuit of peace can be asked and answered, however. There are sacralist alternatives to it and there are cosmopious alternatives to both modernism and sacralism. Cosmopiety is the hea…

Psychopathology and world politics
The relationship between psychopathology and world politics can be considered firstly from the world politics perspective. This means examining the dysfunctional forms of human behaviour manifest there—both individual and collective/communal. It means examining how such behaviour can be described and explained in psychiatric or psychological/psychoanalytical terms. The relationship between psychopathology and world politics can also be considered…
Power and morality
This article critically addresses E H Carr's dichotomy of power and morality by demonstrating that all analytical languages used to articulate world affairs systematically refer to both power and morality, albeit in a different manner. The distinction between the two concepts is an analytical one, rather than a dichotomy of the kind that Carr constructs. Although Carr's dichotomy has recently resurfaced as a distinction between ‘communitarianism’…
Taoism and the concept of global security
Global security is typically discussed in the rationalist terms used to articulate contemporary modernism. To restrict analysis to such articulations, however, is to accept the limits and distortions that this way of being and knowing creates. This article seeks to transgress these limits, and to compensate for these distortions. It does so by discussing the concept of global security from a Taoist perspective. Initially, it maps what global secu…
Human Security as Global Security
The article argues that global security should be seen as synonymous with human security, and that strategic studies should be located within that broader rubric. Mounting such an argument means meeting the charge of those who see the broader construction of strategic studies as vague and meaningless, and as detracting from the ability to make good policy. The article attempts, therefore, to map human security in as inclusive and systematic a way…

The Politico-Social Dimension
Standing back to look at world affairs we can see not only the politicocultural context in which they are currently constructed, but the kind of world society that results as well. Society is not the same as culture, though society is sometimes used as a synonym for culture, since cultural distinctiveness is a feature of all discrete social systems. This is why society often gets put together with culture in a hyphenated form, as in references to…
Conclusion
I started this study, in the rationalist/modernist way, by stepping back to look at world affairs in objectifying terms. I did not stop with that, however. I then stepped close, not just to look but as far as the limits of the printed page allow, to listen subjectively to what those who do these abstract things say they do. I then tried to find some sense, again within the limits that print allows, of what it feels like to do such things for ours…
The Modernist Project
The idea that the unfettered life of the mind should be prioritized as a whole-cultural project began to be adopted in Europe in the seventeenth century, though its most comprehensive application was in the New World, not the Old. Thus it was in the United States of mid-North America, not the European Union of the Continent, that placing a priority on uninhibited reason was first given serious credence on a society-wide scale.
Individualism, Nationalism, Collectivism
Standing back to look at world affairs, and prioritizing the untrammelled use of reason that standing back intellectually makes possible, requires fostering a very particular sense of self. We have to learn to turn part of ourselves into an Archimedean dais, that is, on which to stand mentally, and from which we can extend the lever of untrammelled reason in our bid to prise open the ways of the world. These keywords were added by machine and not…
Realism, Internationalism, Globalism
Though standing back to look at world affairs objectively requires an individuated sense of the self to do the looking with, the ‘self’ is not what we generally see first when we look at the world. What we see first is mostly the state, or more particularly, the modernist version of the state.
Liberalism, Mercantilism, Market Universalism and Marxism
In standing back to look at world affairs, we create a separate sense of self, that is, a self able to make this distancing mind-move. The result is a fundamental paradox, however, since we then have a self that is ‘within’ (doing the observing) and ‘without’ (being observed). These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
Market-making
The world economy is characterized in modernist/liberalist terms by the world market. Market-making is another practice the modernist reader with be intimately acquainted with, and since most marketmaking is capitalist market-making today, most readers will be intimately acquainted with capitalism too. Modernist children are taught from a very early age the concept of private property, for example. They are taught that it is desirable and sacrosa…
Mind-making
Taking part is the next step after standing close to listen. It is also the most radical way to go about knowing by subjectifying means.
State-making
‘Two centuries ago’, Hedley Bull says, ‘most of the non-European world lay beyond the boundaries of any sovereign state ... . Today the sovereign state is established throughout the world ... [and though t]here has been a certain debasing of the currency of statehood as a consequence ... for the first time the sovereign state is the common political form experienced by the whole of mankind’ (Bull, 1979: 112). These keywords were added by machine …
Self-making
To take part in the modernist practice of prioritizing untrammelled reason, we must have a sense of the self that makes objectifying possible. We must have a separate sense of ourselves that allows us to ‘see’ this world (and ourselves in this world) from a mental distance. Our sense of self must be such as to give us the chance to use our reason as freely as possible, that is. We must become not just an individual inside a society, but an indivi…
The Politico-Economic Dimension
In standing back to look at world affairs, I have highlighted the modernist project, and the politico-cultural context in which this project proceeds. I have pointed out how the human experience of modernity, and of the world affairs that modernists make, is manifest in terms of the politico-social construction of rationally self-conscious Selves. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the ke…
The Politico-Strategic Dimension
Standing back to look at world affairs, it is the politico-strategic practices that take place there that provide analysts with evidence of the most common global experience. While politico-economic practices are accepted as integral to the discipline now, this is a relatively recent development. Politico-social practices are still not accepted as integral, with the exception of the nationalist ones. Politico-cultural concerns constitute the cont…
The Politico-Cultural Context
It may help to expand somewhat on the major aspects of the discussion so far. Let me return, therefore, to the business of standing back to look at world affairs in a rationalist, objectifying, reifying fashion. This is a cultural experience. The propensity to do this, and the practice of doing this, is something we learn. It is more than an inherited propensity or practice, since we do not stand back to look because of some genetic imperative. W…

Taking human rights education seriously
Human rights are moral claims. They are claims we make when we feel we do not have or are not getting something we really need as a human being. Because we are all human beings, every right we claim for ourselves implies a duty to meet that same claim if and when it is made on us by others

It is my contention that theories of international relations derive from or can be reduced to two basic arenas of discourse, which I term pluralist and structuralist in their central preoccupations

Political responses diverged sharply. On the one side successive ministries since federation were charged with having mercilessly 'flogged the bleed ing back of private enterprise with socialistic lashes of hampering restrictions and rising costs';1 on the other, the working class was exhorted '. . . in this period of Capitalist decline ... to prepare the immediate overthrow of the system which permits of starvation amidst plenty',2 and to find i…
