International Relations Scholars, the Media, and the Dilemma of Consensus
Over the last 15 years, scholars, universities, and foundations have promoted numerous efforts to link the scholarly and policy communities of international relations. Increasing evidence suggests that scholars are succeeding in getting their ideas and findings in the press, and their success bodes well for their ability to influence public and elite opinion. Despite these strides, we know little about when journalists may pick up on academic ide…
El estado es un macho violador
In most peacebuilding processes, the state is seen, particularly by the international community, as a primary and central arbitrator in peacebuilding and transitional justice processes. In this article, I critique the global system’s centralisation of the state, using Colombia as a case study. This critique of the state as a central site for peacebuilding in Colombia is driven from three key bodies of work: legal feminist institutional reform, ra…
Gender and Political Expression among International Relations Scholars and the Public
Numerous studies show that women are less likely than men to express attitudes and opinions about politics. To explore the origins of this gender gap, we use data from a series of surveys of the general public and international relations scholars in the United States between 2014 and 2023. These data show that the gender gap in political expression exists, even among knowledge elites; female IR scholars say they don’t know the answer to survey qu…
Covid-19 and Conflict Research Spaces
The intersection of conflict research and research ethics is already a complex and fraught one, particularly in exchanges between researchers from the Global North and researched communities from the Global South. There are many examples (and years) of exploitation, fraud, and violence in these exchanges, and more recent scholarship on fieldwork ethics has established new norms of reciprocal exchange rather than exploitation in these relationship…
Between negotiation and legitimation
In contemporary international politics, states face numerous challenges to their sovereignty, especially in the realm of human rights. We argue that rather than simply fight back when sovereignty is challenged, states sometimes instrumentalize sovereignty challenges in pursuit of their own domestic and international political agendas. We identify two key ways that governments frame sovereignty challenges to use in these pursuits, what we call neg…
Grammar of Threat
Why do criminal actors publicly display threatening messages? Studies of organized crime emphasize that criminal actors rely on clandestine networks of influence. Subtle or coded threats are an effective means of extending that influence, but publicizing these threats appears to undermine their chief advantage. We argue that publicized threats broadcast an imagined order, delineating who has a place in society under criminal control, and who does…
A Woman’s Place Is at the Negotiating Table
A substantial amount of scholarly work has been conducted on considerations (or lack thereof) of gender in the context of peace negotiations. While gender-specific concerns, particularly those focused on women’s empowerment, are now emphasized in the language of international and national organizations involved in peacebuilding (e.g., UN Security Council Resolution 1325), many times this language is just “talk.” Often, on-the-ground practice and …
Legacies of Political Violence and Voter Behavior in Colombia
Do legacies of politically motivated violence influence future or current electoral behaviour? How so? This article considers the question of the impact of violence on voter behaviour, specifically on elections that centred on issues of peace in contexts of long-running civil conflict. This study theorises the ways in which decades of violence, and continued contexts of unevenly distributed violence during elections, impacts current electoral beh…
Assessing Racial/Ethnic and Gender Gaps in Political Science PhD Students’ Methodological Self-Efficacy
Most research on diversity within political methodology focuses on gender while overlooking racial and ethnic gaps. Our study investigates how race/ethnicity and gender relate to political science PhD students’ methodological self-efficacy, as well as their general academic self-efficacy. By analyzing a survey of 300 students from the top 50 US-based political science PhD programs, we find that race and ethnicity correlate with quantitative self-…
The Problem of Difference
Marcos S. Scauso. Intersectional Decoloniality: Reimagining International Relations and the Problem of Difference. New York: Routledge, 2020. 256 pp., $128 hardback (ISBN: 978-0367369552). In Intersectional Decoloniality: Reimagining International Relations and the Problem of Difference, Marcos S. Scauso analyzes four distinct discourses that deal with the problem of difference: colonial, anticolonial, poststructuralist, and intersectional decolo…
Indigenous social movements and political institutionalization
Why do some indigenous social movements integrate into political institutions, i.e., political parties, and some do not? This study compares the impact that indigenous social movements have had on existing political institutions in Peru and Guatemala, theorizing about the effects that framing and experiential commensurability can have on the success of a social movement of a marginalized group transitioning into a political party. That is to say,…
