Color Blind
The rhetoric of any academic discipline can involve epistemic distortions and blind spots, including a tendency to obscure systemic racism. The doctrine of political realism from the discipline of International Relations is an influential example. Realism relies on several rhetorical devices, including a structural distinction between rhetoric and reality, a modality of abstraction, and the trope of anarchy/hierarchy. These provide both a compell…
Polysemy, sovereignty, and global discourse

The Sins of the Nation and the Ritual of Apologies - By Danielle Celermajer
Testimony after Catastrophe
Terrorists and Democrats
Three experiments conducted in 1997 and 1998 explored individual responses to reported fictitious international conflict involving the United States and other nations. Participants escalated the conflictual level of their responses to repeated attacks. In Experiment 1, escalation of conflict was greater in response to terrorist attacks than to military ones. In Experiment 2, after the initial attacks, men were more conflictual in responding to te…
Traveling Together on the Information Superhighway
Distance learning is on the horizon. Modern communications, following its exponential trajectory through telephone, telegraph, radio, film, television and computer networks, continues to transform education. Technology assisted learning promises a higher quality product, at lower cost, to larger numbers of people. Universal public education, as it approaches the 21st century, is at the threshold of a quantum leap forward
Peace and gender
The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the influence of an existing peace treaty between two hostile nations on decisions about whether and how to retaliate against one nation's transgression. Two fictitious neighboring countries, Ashland and Bagumba, were described to research participants as having been locked in an historical struggle of tension and hostility. Participants were asked to choose a course of action by the United States…
Psychology, Relativism, and Politics
Peace Agreement, Intractable Conflict, Escalation Trajectory
Psychological theory suggests that international events influence foreign policy action choices through differential cognitive schemata held by political actors. The actions and schemata are, in turn, affected by underlying actor attributes. In this tradition, the present study administered a mixture of peaceful and conflictual priming cues, testing for a “peace treaty” effect. A sample of laboratory subjects was primed with a vignette describing…
Words of Reason
The linguistic turn in political science is an important step toward more sophisticated political knowledge. Greater awareness of political language implies attention to words such as reason. Reason is central to modern political discourse because of its historical and cultural importance and because of the contemporary dominance of the rational choice paradigm. Reason the concept therefore justifies closer scrutiny of reason the word. The meanin…
Ranking international cooperation and conflict events
A set of psychological laboratory experiments were conducted to refine a scale that could be used to study cognition and decision‐making in international cooperation and conflict events. The COPDAB scale, ranking international conflict and cooperation, was expanded and reanalyzed. The original 15 point scale was augmented to include four actors and three new categories for nuclear conflict. The new 18 point scale was used as a template to generat…
War Cues and Foreign Policy Acts
Cognitive psychological theory and research suggest that specific actions are primed or potentiated by prior related cues. Thus violent cues should influence subsequent conflictual action choices. Laboratory subjects were given one of two written vignettes recalling either the slaughter of World War I or Allied weakness before World War II. A control group received no vignette. Subjects were then asked to specify foreign-policy choices from an in…

Why wars end
Many books, both scholarly and popular, consider how wars begin. There has also been a large number written on the question of limiting war in general and creating peace. Yet the question of how specific wars end has received far less attention. Except for memoirs and historical accounts of final battles and peace negotiations, it is difficult to find more than a handful of general works on war deescalation and termination

Trends in American Major War and Peace
This article attempts to describe possible historical trends in American major peace and war. With caution, because of the small number of data points, it notes that (a) periods of major peace have become more frequent and shorter; (b) major wars that break up the peace periods have necessarily become more frequent; (c) the length of major wars shows no clear overall trend, though there may be reason to believe that major wars have become more fr…
Terrorism
An Infantile Disorder
World Order and World Futures
International relations seems to be growing. The scope of international practice is widening as the number of nation states increases, as nongovernmental actors become more important, and as new issue areas like money, energy, food, and population join the traditional diplo-military concerns of high politics. The range of international analysis is also extending, partly to keep up with the expansion of international practice, and partly to meet a…
The Epidemiology of Peace and War
Epidemiology is a relatively advanced discipline which offers theories and methods that may be useful in helping us better understand peace and war. Similarities between peace and health, war and disease, center in concern with preservation and extension of human life, on the one hand, and prevention of physical damage and death, on the other. The epidemiological model suggests that description of peace and war should move toward an integrated de…
Drift and Pluralization in International Trade
In recent years, a considerable body of literature has dealt with relations between the so-called developed and developing nations. More recently, a number of analysts have attempted to gain leverage over the problem by utilizing a systemic perspective that links centers and peripheries
