On the Coloniality of Solidarity: Iran, Imperialist Aggression, and the Western Left’s Blind Spot
The ‘War on Terror’ as Primitive Accumulation in Tunisia: US-Led Imperialism and the Post-2010-2011 Revolt/Security Conjuncture
This article examines the rearticulation and reconfiguration of US-led imperialism vis-à-vis Tunisia in the aftermath of the 2010–2011 popular revolt. Challenging the prevalent economic-military binary in analyses of US-led imperialism in the region, it treats instead economic intervention in Tunisia as linked to and shaped by 'security' intervention, with the violence of the War on Terror laying the groundwork for a new wave of primitive accumul…
The Tunisian university at the intersection of global-local conjunctures: Knowledge, power and the struggle for liberation
This article adopts a longue durée approach to examining resistance around the Tunisian university, tracing current material and epistemological struggles back to the colonial era. To do so, it fuses theoretical insights from the growing bodies of literature concerned with how colonial-capitalist power is manifested and contested within and on the margins of institutions of higher education, including Marxist, social movement theory, and decoloni…
We charge genocide: Racist state violence is a labor issue
With the We Charge Genocide petition to the United Nations as a guide, the Professional Staff Congress (PSC) International Committee calls for solidarity with CUNY students and workers devastated by COVID 19, neoliberal CUNY cuts and racist state and structural violence
Decolonizing Justice in Tunisia
Building on decades of struggle, the January 2011 Tunisian uprising triggered a wave of popular revolt that spread across North Africa and West Asia. After the uprising, Tunisia became the focus of a celebrated project of transitional justice, which is now the globally mandated method of reconciling victims and perpetrators following a nonrevolutionary regime change. However, Tunisia's process of transitional justice must be critically examined. …
Discourses of Power and State Formation: The State of Emergency from Protectorate to Post-uprising Tunisia
Extending the timeframe of analysis beyond the post-uprising period, Corinna Mullin and Brahim Rouabah retrace the way in which the state of emergency has functioned as a discourse of power and a modality of governance throughout the colonial and postcolonial eras. Specifically, the article focuses on how the state of emergency contributes to the reinforcement of dominant narratives about national identity, and the foreclosure of more radical alt…
Contesting Transitional Justice as Liberal Governance in Revolutionary Tunisia
Th is article discusses the politics of "transition" in Tunisia and locates Tunisia's post-uprising justice initiatives within existing critical literature on global liberal governance and transitional justice. Methodologically, it treats transitional justice as a site of contestation, involving the exercise of domestic and transnational strategies of power as well as the oft en subversive agency of former and ongoing victims of state crime. By e…
Introduction: The West Asian and North African Uprisings and the Limits of Liberal Governance
This special section brings together scholars working in divergent disciplines and locations. By focusing on agency and politics from below in addition to the structural and discursive contexts that condition wider relations between the West Asian and North African (WANA) region and the European Union, the special section makes the case for a critical reinterpretation of WANA–European relations and a paradigm for future intellectual engagement
Governing Revolt: EU–North African Relations after the ‘Arab Spring’ Uprisings
This article focuses on under-discussed external dimensions of the 2010–11 North African uprisings. In particular, it considers European Union liberal governance—in the form of economic ‘aid’, and ‘technical’ and transitional ‘assistance’—as both a form of intervention and a juridical-institutional force that has informed post-uprising states' development. This article also considers ways in which the EU's role in a broader security regime, conso…
The US discourse on political Islam: Is Obama's a truly post -‘war on terror’ administration
In this article, I examine the legacy of the discourse on political Islam in the context of George W. Bush's ‘war on terror’, reflecting on the role this discourse has performed in constructing and affirming the United States' self-identity as a beacon of ‘democracy’, ‘progress’ and ‘modernity’, in contradistinction to an Islamist ‘other’. It will evaluate the three most prominent manifestations of the modern rationalist paradigm in relation to t…
Islamist Challenges to the ‘Liberal Peace’ Discourse: The Case of Hamas and the Israel—Palestine ‘Peace Process’
This article will examine the reasons behind Israel’s and the international community’s refusal to engage Hamas in the internationally sanctioned ‘peace process’. It will be argued here that more important than the ‘strategic’ challenges Hamas is deemed to pose to this process, are the epistemological and ontological challenges the movement intrinsically poses to the dominant normative framework that underpins the process. In order to understand …
