Multiplicity and ‘The International’ as Critique – A Forum
This forum reconsiders the standing of ‘the international’ in relation to ‘critique’. Is this relation best understood in ways reminiscent of the ‘Fourth Great Debate’, where the international, associated with political realism, was targeted for deconstruction by critical approaches drawn from outside International Relations? Or is the international, on the contrary, itself a source of potential critique needing to be excavated and utilized, as r…
Discussion of the Forum
Weaving Worlds
Relationality has become a popular term for addressing diversity, complexity, interconnectedness, and planetary crisis in many academic fields, including international relations (IR). This article shows that fully embracing relationality calls for a distinct set of tools that are discernable in cosmopraxis, an ontological stance derived from Andean thinking that upholds interdependence and co-becoming, being-feeling-knowing-doing, and both-and lo…
Making amends
International Relations from the Global South
Covid-19, Democracies, and (De)Colonialities
Liberal democracies often include rights of participation, guarantees of protection, and policies that privilege model citizens within a bounded territory. Notwithstanding claims of universal equality for “humanity,” they achieve these goals by epistemically elevating certain traits of identity above “others,” sustaining colonial biases that continue to favor whoever is regarded more “human.” The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated these fault line…
Differing about Difference
Difference, a central concern to the study of international relations (IR), has not had its ontological foundations adequately disrupted. This forum explores how existential assumptions rooted in relational logics provide a significantly distinct set of tools that drive us to re-orient how we perceive, interpret, and engage both similarity and difference. Taking their cues from cosmological commitments originating in the Andes, South Asia, East A…
South-South Cooperation Beyond the Myths
This book, which brings together scholars from the developed and developing world, explores one of the most salient features of contemporary international relations: South-South cooperation. It builds
Worlding, Ontological Politics and the Possibility of a Decolonial IR
This article argues that attention to representational practices and epistemology, however important for expanding the boundaries of International Relations as a field of study, has been insufficient for dealing with difference in world politics, where ontological conflicts are also at play. We suggest that IR, as a latecomer to the 'ontological turn', has yet to engage systematically with 'singular world' logics introduced by colonial modernity …
International Relations in the prison of colonial modernity
This article argues that Justin Rosenberg's proposal to reground IR in an ontology of societal multiplicity fails to account for the practices by which the field has erased multiplicity from its register and has sustained its identity through suppression of difference. We posit that the prison of colonial modernity, more than that of Political Science, is at the root of IR's lack of a distinctive purpose, and that Rosenberg's gesture toward uneve…
Many Worlds, Many Theories
during an event organized to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the creation of the first undegraduate program in International Relations in Brazil at the University of Brasilia. The keynote speech, deliverd by Andrew Hurrell on the subject of pluralizing IR, was like a seed falling into a soil fertile with the discussions that were already taking place at the Institute of International Relations, particularly in light of recent disciplinary dev…
Cooperación dependiente asociada. Relaciones estratégicas asimétricas entre Colombia y Estados Unidos
The “exportation” of security has become a core component of Colombia’s foreign policy. Although the cooperation provided for third parties is a result of the country’s strategy to increase its own regional and international visibility, much of it is the result of triangulation with the United States. The main objective of the article is to critically question this new model of bilateral interaction in light of the conceptual literature on asymme…
Claiming the International
Core, periphery and (neo)imperialist International Relations
This article analyzes the core–periphery dynamics that characterize the International Relations discipline. To this end, it explores general insights offered by both science studies and the social sciences in terms of the intellectual division of labor that characterizes knowledge-building throughout the world, and the social mechanisms that reproduce power differentials within given fields of study. These arguments are then applied to Internatio…
International Relations Scholarship Around the World
The International Relations (IR) discipline has existed in Turkey for well over half a century, yet in many ways it is still struggling to come together as a coordinated disciplinary community. Perhaps the most distinctive characteristic that emerges when trying to understand the discipline’s development and current state is the complex and uncomfortable relationship it holds with the world of IR theory and theorizing. Over the past 15 to 20 year…
Agents of Insecurity in the Andes
Latin American IR and the Primacy of lo práctico 1
This article traces the general historical development of international relations (IR) thinking in Latin America based upon the influence of key intellectual, political, economic, social, and cultural factors. In particular, the ways in which state needs, foreign policy practices, the development of the social sciences, and US IR knowledge have influenced Latin American understandings of the “international” since the postwar period are explored
Aquí en el Ghetto
Hip-hop music has become an important tool worldwide for poor, marginalized youth to reflect on their lived experiences. This article traces the genre's production from its spontaneous origins in the urban ghettos of New York to its commoditization for global consumption and its evolution in three different Latin American settings: Colombia, Cuba, and Mexico. The article explores how hip-hop has been appropriated in each country and has been used…
Intervención por invitación. Claves de la política exterior colombiana y de sus debilidades principales
This article develops the thesis that the internationalization of the Colombian armed conflict has been carried out using a strategy denominated “intervention by invitation”, by which the governments of Andrés Pastrana and Álvaro Uribe intensified Colombia’s association with the United States and requested greater involvement by that country in domestic affairs related to counternarcotics and counterinsurgency. The author discusses a series of co…
La securitización de la crisis colombiana
This article argues that perceptions of insecurity and threat produced by Colombia in neighboring countries are not the result of the objective consequences of the regionalization of the Colombian crisis, but rather, depend largely upon internal political dynamics in each country and the ways in which their representatives articulate specific issues as security problems. Following a general conceptual discussion of security and securitization, th…
Colombia and the United States
The worldview that has molded Washington's twin wars on drugs and terrorism constitutes an extremely narrow framework through which to address the complex problems Colombia faces. National security, defined exclusively in military terms, has taken precedence over equally significant political, economic, and social considerations
Hearing Latin American Voices in International Relations Studies
This article offers a general account of international relations studies (IR) in Latin America through an examination of IR thinking in the region, an inventory of IR theory courses in seven Latin American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, and Trinidad and Tobago), and an analysis of journal articles selected from five specialized IR journals in Latin America. Although considerable U.S. influence upon the ways in …
Mapping Transregional Security Structures in the Andean Region
Challenges to the state represent one of the central features of today’s world order. With the exception of some stalwarts who argue that the state has been largely immune to post-cold war transformations and that the state-centered model of the international system continues to apply

En busca de aliados para la “seguridad democrática”
This article discusses the ways in which president Álvaro Uribe has sought to Iink his democratic security policy with concrete foreign policy strategies during the first year of his administration. Among these, the insertion ofthe Colombian armed conflict within the international counterterrorist crusade Ied by the United States occupies a central role. The authors conclude that granting exclusive priority to Colombia’s relationship with Washing…

Seeing IR Differently
This article explores the importance of distinct non-core and non-Western perspectives for critical interpretations of international relations. A series of arguments are offered as to why third world scholarship is invisible within the field, and why features such as culture, everyday life and hydridity make looking at IR from third world loci of enunciation fundamentally different. In order to observe the ways in which such readings complement a…

Tensiones y consecuencias indeseables de la política exterior estadounidense en Colombia
Durante los últimos años Colombia ha llamado cada vez más la atención de Estados Unidos como una nación "problema" cuya grave crisis doméstica ha comenzado a mostrar "efectos colaterales" en los países vecinos. En consecuencia, además del tráfico de drogas, el cual ha sido un asunto de seguridad nacional de Estados Unidos por mucho tiempo, otros problemas internos se han ido convirtiendo en temas de preocupación para ese país. Si bien Colombia ha…

Capitalismo, control y resistencia
This article explores the ways in which the dialectical relationship between power and resistance manifests itselfin specific strategies of control characteristic of global capitalism. The emergence ofnew regulatory and disciplinary mechanisms, in particular within the sphere of cultural consumption, leads to distinct forms of resistance. In consequence, the authors' explore the varied meanings ofthe concept of resistance within a globalized worl…
