Jolly Roger meets the state
Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are increasingly engaging in independent enforcement, either authorized by or in cooperation with state enforcement agencies. While existing scholarship has documented the breadth of their activities—from investigating human rights violations and environmental crimes, to litigating alleged perpetrators—a theoretical gap remains in understanding what motivates NGOs to enter such partnerships and what trade-off…

What does gender got to do with it? PMSCs and privatization of security revisited
While war and the military have been recognized as being gendered sites, Private Military and Security Companies (PMSCs) are only rarely studied through a gender lens. Compared to functional, political-instrumental or ideational explanations with respect to the privatization of security, such a lens captures, however, the micro-dynamic and political processes of PMSCs’ boom. We show that gender is, first, constitutive of companies’ corporate iden…
Public or private? Blurring the lines through YouTube recruitment of military veterans by private security companies
Private security companies (PSCs) blur the lines between the public and the private sector through the provision of services to state militaries. Based on a multi-modal qualitative content analysis of YouTube recruitment videos aimed at veterans, we show how PSCs also challenge these boundaries through their hiring practices. By relating to veterans’ past as hero warriors and by envisioning their future as corporate soldiers, the companies appear…
Black Gold
The 1920s have been touted as the golden era of jazz and Black history in Montréal. Similarly, the decade is well known for the Harlem Renaissance, a key moment in African American art history. Yet this period in Black Canadian art histories remains largely unknown. As a first step toward shedding some light on this period in Black Canadian art history, I propose to use what I term a Black feminist art-historical (bfah) praxis to discuss some vis…
NGOs – die besseren Unternehmen oder business as usual
Nichtregierungsorganisationen (NGOs), so der Befund aus Wissenschaft und Praxis, übernehmen immer häufiger Praktiken und Strukturen von Wirtschaftsunternehmen. In diesem Kontext ist oftmals von einer „Kommerzialisierung“ von NGOs die Rede, die in unterschiedlichen politikwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen erforscht wird. Die Dritte-Sektor-Forschung, die Protest- und Bewegungsforschung, die Forschung zu NGOs in den Internationalen Beziehungen befassen…
Linking pins as drivers of interagency cooperation
Scholars in the field of International Relations increasingly pay attention to interorganizational cooperation. Currently we know, however, more about why international organizations cooperate with one another and have only a rudimentary understanding of the ways in which this cooperation is established. To shed light on this ‘blind spot’ in the literature, we draw on the linking pin concept, which originated in organizational studies and has mor…
Forum
Scholars of international relations frequently explore how states normalize the use of military force through processes of militarization, yet few have analyzed how new information and communication technologies impact on these processes. The essays in this forum address this gap, and consider the political significance of new technologies, new actors, and new practices that shape “Militarization 2.0” and normalize political violence in the digit…
Explaining variation in the implementation of global norms
Why do regional security organizations choose different approaches to implementing global gender norms? To address this question, we examine how the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and the European Union (EU) integrated requirements derived from UN Security Council Resolution 1325 (UNSCR 1325) on women, peace and security into their security policies. We identify differences in scope and dynamics between the change pro…
Hiding in plain sight
Private military and security companies (PMSCs) have an image problem. They are frequently called ‘mercenaries’ or ‘dogs of war’, due to recurring scandals involving some of these companies, such as human rights violations, fraud and waste. Scholars have analysed the strategies that PMSCs use to distance themselves from such negative labels and to boost their image by studying the companies’ websites and advertisements. What is missing so far, ho…
How to Analyze Social Media? Assessing the Promise of Mixed-Methods Designs for Studying the Twitter Feeds of PMSCs
Social scientists and international relations scholars are increasingly analyzing data collected from Twitter or Facebook to examine political processes in which social media are used. The sheer amount of web 2.0 data and its heterogeneity (including text, photos, and videos), however, pose challenges which analysts frequently seek to overcome through a mixed method approach relying on both quantitative and qualitative methods. This article discu…
Twittering for talent
Private military and security companies (PMSCs) play an increasingly important role in the provision of security-related services. In their attempts to win new clients and find suitable personnel, they take on different identities by presenting themselves as conventional businesses, military actors, and humanitarians. In this article, we examine how PMSCs deploy these identities when they recruit new personnel through social media. Our computer-a…
Humanitarian NGOs as Businesses and Managers
Humanitarian nonprofit nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) today exhibit signs of “marketization” and behave like firms, according to a frequently uttered claim in the scholarly literature. However, it is not precisely clear what marketization and behaving like a firm mean. Drawing on the literature concerning nonprofit organizations and public administration, we offer a more sophisticated and multifaceted understanding of a consequential develo…
Revisiting Global Governance in Multistakeholder Initiatives
Multistakeholder initiatives that bring together actors from the state, the business sector \nand society to formulate, implement and/or monitor rules governing different policy fields \nhave assumed a prominent role in global governance since the 1980s. In the governance \nliterature, it is generally assumed that the actors from the three sectors have diverse interests, \nbut contribute different resources. This should allow to address transnati…
External networks and institutional idiosyncrasies
In 2008, the Council of the European Union (EU) adopted a ‘Comprehensive Approach’ that outlines a strategy for securing gender mainstreaming; two years later, the Council introduced a set of indicators to assess its implementation. The EU was responding to the United Nations Security Council’s call for regional institutions to assist in implementing Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325, adopted on 31 October 2000, concerning ‘women, peace an…

Local—Global—Local
This article provides a closer look at the interdependencies and relations present between the local and global. It uses social-movement literature and the concept of the rooted cosmopolitan to describe historically how the local and personal experiences of women have led to global campaigns and served as sources of conflict. This is followed by a discussion of modern debates and the ways global ideas and norms related to gender inform local deba…
Changing discourses, changing practices? Gender mainstreaming and security
Of ‘true professionals’ and ‘ethical hero warriors’
Private military and security companies (PMSCs) have gained increasingly in importance over the course of the past two decades. Yet, given the intransparency of the industry and the heterogeneity of the companies that comprise it, we thus far know little about the actors involved. In this article, we offer preliminary insights into the self-representation of PMSCs, based on a gender-discourse analysis of the homepages of select companies and thei…
New Humanitarians? Frame Appropriation through Private Military and Security Companies
Although private military and security companies (PMSCs) are gaining increasing importance, they still suffer from an image problem. In the media, they are frequently referred to as ‘mercenaries’ or ‘dogs of war’. PMSCs are therefore interested in presenting themselves as legitimate and acceptable contract parties. Based on a discourse analysis of the homepages of select PMSCs and the industry association International Stability Operations Associ…

Framing Issues and Seizing Opportunities
How, why, and under what conditions are NGOs able to influence state's interests? To answer these questions, I examine the process through which women's organizations succeeded in placing front and center on the UN agenda two issues that had been perceived as exclusively private: violence against women and reproductive rights and health. I develop a theoretical framework drawing on both the agenda-setting and social movement literature. I suggest…
NGOs, die Vereinten Nationen und Gewalt gegen Frauen. Agenda-Setting, Framing, Gelegenheits- und Mobilisierungsstrukturen
Zeitschrift für Internationale Beziehungen (ZIB) is the flagship journal of the German International Relations community. According to a poll amongst German political scientists across various sub-fields conducted in 2009 it is also considered the best German-language journal in Political Science at large. ZIB publishes articles that make original as well as theoretically and methodically reflected contributions to the study of international rela…
