  • Strongmen and warmaking

    Open Access•Ayşe Zarakol•ARTICLE•Thesis Eleven•2026

    This essay asks whether warmaking can discipline the contemporary strongman regimes, as Tilly's account of European state formation might suggest it once did absolutism. To probe this question, it briefly revisits two non-European cases: New Kingdom Ancient Egypt and Warring States China. In neither does the European pattern hold. These historical cases help us identify the scope conditions for the mechanism identified by Tilly. Put briefly, warm…

  • Non-Western Visions of International Order

    Dylan M H Loh, Lucas De Oliveira Paes et al.•ARTICLE•Annual Review of Political Science•2025

    The scholarship on the concept of order has been expanding within international relations. The continuous upheaval of world politics first triggered a broad debate on the resilience of the liberal international order (LIO), which then led to scholarship on alternative conceptions of order, especially outside of the West. This review focuses on this body of research on non-Western views of order. It is structured geographically, taking a tour of s…

  • The Future of Global Governance and World Order

    Open Access•Brett Ashley Leeds, Layna Mosley et al.•ARTICLE•International Organization•2025•Citada por: 1

    This special issue of International Organization is composed of fifteen short essays that consider how longer-term trends (including the rise of China, the anti-globalization backlash, the rise of populism, the emergence of new technologies, the slowing or reversal of democratization in many countries, and the existential threat of climate change), along with recent developments in US foreign policy, are likely to affect the future of global gove…

  • Reply to ‘How (not) to advance Global IR

    This reply responds to criticism of our original symposium, ‘Global IR and the Essentialism Trap.’ We respond to four particular charges and end with a call for Global IR to move beyond its current emphasis on creating a more diverse, equal, and inclusive discipline to identifying specific research programs that demonstrate the necessity of moving beyond the West. We nominate global order and disorder

  • Concept formation in historical International Relations

    Open Access•Jaakko Heiskanen, Ayşe Zarakol•ARTICLE•European Journal of International…•2025•Citada por: 1•Referências: 110

    For a long time, International Relations’ (IR) spatiotemporal parameters could be summarized in two words: Western and modern. The recent growth of Historical IR has contributed to a dramatic extension of these spatiotemporal coordinates, extending the discipline’s gaze to places and times that had previously been neglected. A key challenge that this ‘historical turn’ presents for IR theory, and that we take up in this article, is the proper form…

  • Rethinking International Order

    Open Access•Ayşe Zarakol•ARTICLE•Ethics & International Affairs•2024•Citada por: 2

    This essay focuses on the concept of “international order” and its uses and misuses. It argues that the concept of “order” should not be conflated with the concept of a “system,” and that it makes more sense to speak of world order than international order because the former accommodates political units beyond the nation-state. Drawing on my recent book Before the West (2022) I show how the concept of “world order” travels better in history and a…

  • Global Slavery in the Making of States and International Orders

    Open Access•J C Sharman, Ayşe Zarakol•ARTICLE•American Political Science Review•2024•Citada por: 8•Referências: 70

    Despite having key implications for fundamental political science questions, slavery as a global phenomenon has received little attention in the field. We argue that slavery played an important role in state-building and international order formation. To counter a historical U.S./Atlantic bias, we draw evidence mostly from the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. We identify two slave-based paths to state construction. A "slaves as the state" logic saw…

  • Thinking through 1492

    This Collective Discussion aims to open up space for an international political sociology of the production of historical knowledge that interrogates the politics around benchmark dates and what becomes knowable and unknowable through them. Specifically, it examines 1492 as a historiographical device through which to unpack how the discipline of IR knows history. 1492 presents a relevant case for this interrogation, for it is central for the hist…

  • The Historicity of International Politics

    Open Access•George Lawson, Thomas F Müller et al.•BOOK•The Historicity of International…•2023

    The past is constantly present, not least in the study of imperialism and imperial forms of power in international politics. This volume shows how historical trajectories have shaped international affairs covering a wide range of imperial and (post-) colonial settings in international politics, substantiating the claim that imperial and colonial legacies - and how they have transformed over time - are foundational to the historicity of internatio…

  • Polymorphic justice and the crisis of international order

    Open Access•Christian Reus-Smit, Ayşe Zarakol•ARTICLE•International Affairs•2023

    The post-1945 international order is in crisis, spurring a wide-ranging debate about its future in a period of rapid global change. A critical dimension of this crisis has been neglected by existing perspectives, however. At multiple levels the post-1945 international order is being challenged by claims of justice. Diverse actors criticize the order for its economic inequalities, social hierarchies, institutional unfairness, intergenerational ine…

  • The United Nations of IR

    Open Access•Tarak Barkawi, Christopher Murray et al.•ARTICLE•International Theory•2023•Citada por: 4•Referências: 36

    This paper critiques a core premise of Global IR: the association of knowledge with geography, which we term geo-epistemology. It argues that ‘American’ and Global IR share a Eurocentric spatial imaginary, one that was a product of Western expansion and empire. Through its geo-epistemology, Global IR enables a conservative appropriation of the critique of Eurocentrism in IR. Globality becomes a matter of assembling sufficient geographic represent…

  • Global international relations and the essentialism trap

    Global IR is an encompassing term for a range of work that has set out to globalize the discipline in terms of its core concepts, assumptions, and substantive areas of study. Our symposium supports Global IR's goals but also offers some friendly critiques of the project with the aim of increasing its impact and durability. In this Introduction to the symposium, we posit that Global IR is vulnerable to a dynamic that limits its capacity to upend t…

  • Recognizing injustice

    Open Access•George Lawson, Ayşe Zarakol•ARTICLE•International Affairs•2023•Citada por: 5

    Struggles for recognition, rooted in the desire to be acknowledged by others, are fundamental to the stability of international orders. All international orders face actors with recognition grievances, and sometimes these grievances become major sources of contention. At the same time, each international order faces struggles that are specific to its mode of legitimation because they are rooted in challenges over the constituent elements of that …

  • Before the West

    Open Access•Ayşe Zarakol•BOOK•Before the West•2022

    How would the history of international relations in 'the East' be written if we did not always read the ending – the Rise of the West and the decline of the East – into the past? What if we did not assume that Asia was just a residual category, a variant of 'not-Europe', but saw it as a space of with its own particular history and sociopolitical dynamics, not defined only by encounters with European colonialism? How would our understanding of sov…

    This forum arises from an online event on the theory of uneven and combined development (UCD). Following an introduction which proposes a ‘special affinity’ between UCD and International Relations (IR), four presenters at that event discuss their ‘view from outside’ UCD, including perspectives from Global Historical Sociology, Realism, Decolonial theory and Gramscian Marxism.

  • Struggles for Recognition

    Open Access•Rebecca Adler-Nissen, Ayşe Zarakol•ARTICLE•International Organization•2021•Citada por: 140•Referências: 131

    The Liberal International Order (LIO) is currently being undermined not only by states such as Russia but also by voters in the West. We argue that both veins of discontent are driven by resentment toward the LIO's status hierarchy, rather than simply by economic grievances. Approaching discontent historically and sociologically, we show that there are two strains of recognition struggles against the LIO: one in the core of the West, driven by po…

    Hierarchy-centered approaches to IR promise to deliver what anarchy-centered approaches have not: a framework for theorizing and empirically analyzing world politics as a global system rather than just an international one. At the core of this proposition are three features of hierarchical systems as they are represented across the growing IR literature on the topic. First, the structures of differentiation at the core of hierarchical systems are…

    This article joins the growing scholarship on the ontological security needs of states. By focusing on state denial of historical crimes, the article will address the main point of contention among scholars who study ontological security, i.e. the question of whether identity pressures on states are mostly endogenously or exogenously generated. Through a study of the Turkish state's reluctance to apologize for the Armenian genocide, and the Japan…

  • States and ontological security

    Open Access•Ayşe Zarakol•ARTICLE•Cooperation and Conflict•2016•Citada por: 77•Referências: 24

    In this brief essay, I explore the relationship between 'states' (or more broadly, institutions of political authority) and ontological security. Drawing from historical examples, I argue that it is a mistake to assume that all 'states' seek ontological security: this generalisation applies only to those polities that claim to be the main ontological security providers. I then develop a typology of institutional ontological security provision arr…

    Contrary to what is often assumed, norm-internalisation does not always lead to compliance. Normative judgements may be simultaneously internalised and outwardly rejected. Non-compliance is at times a result of hyper-awareness of the particular origin of norms, rather than an unwillingness of the would-be-recipients to do ‘good’ deeds, or their inability to understand what is ‘good’. Such is often the case for non-Western states, as I demonstrate…

  • Turkey’s ambivalent self

    Zeynep Gulsah Capan, Ayşe Zarakol•ARTICLE•Cambridge Review of International…•2019•Citada por: 31•Referências: 23

    This article aims to understand the ‘non-Western self’ and the different ways its ontological insecurity can manifest, through the example of Turkey, by contrasting Kemalism’s modernizing vision with Erdoğan’s current populism. We argue that the constructions of political narratives in Turkey (and by implication in other similar settings) derive from two interrelated aspects of the spatio-temporal hierarchies of (colonial) modernity: structural i…

    It is difficult to overstate the importance of the concept sovereignty for international relations (IR). And yet, understanding the historical emergence of sovereignty in international relations has long been curtailed by the all-encompassing myth of the Peace of Westphalia. While criticism of this myth has opened space for further historical inquiry in recent years, it has also raised important questions of historical interpretation and methodol…

    In anthropology, the concept of cultural intimacy expresses those aspects of a cultural identity that are considered a source of international criticism for the state, but are nevertheless used to provide insiders with a sense of national comfort, understanding, and self-reflexive, ontological security. Cultural intimacy helps illuminate how states present themselves internationally and how they understand themselves domestically. It can also exp…

  • Sovereign equality as misrecognition

    Open Access•Ayşe Zarakol•ARTICLE•Review of International Studies•2018•Citada por: 11•Referências: 39

    This article makes two contributions. First, I argue that contrary to what was often assumed in the recognition literature, social hierarchies (as in the Hegelian master–slave dynamic) are very stable. Though social hierarchies are relationships of misrecognition, they nevertheless allow for the simulation of recognition for ‘the master’, and also trap ‘the slave’ in that role through stigmatisation. Second, I make a historical argument about the…

    This article aims to understand the phenomenon of international terrorism by wedding a constructivist understanding of terrorism with an overview of the historical evolution of the state. The Westphalian state has replaced three types of authority: religious, personal and local. Political challenges to the modern international system inevitably derive their claim to legitimacy from one of these other forms of authority. I argue that there is a co…

    Open Access•Janice Bially Mattern, Ayşe Zarakol•ARTICLE•International Organization•2016•Citada por: 194•Referências: 93

    Hierarchy-centered approaches to IR promise to deliver what anarchy-centered approaches have not: a framework for theorizing and empirically analyzing world politics as a global system rather than just an international one. At the core of this proposition are three features of hierarchical systems as they are represented across the growing IR literature on the topic. First, the structures of differentiation at the core of hierarchical systems are…

  • States and ontological security

    Open Access•Ayşe Zarakol•ARTICLE•Cooperation and Conflict•2016•Citada por: 77•Referências: 24

    In this brief essay, I explore the relationship between 'states' (or more broadly, institutions of political authority) and ontological security. Drawing from historical examples, I argue that it is a mistake to assume that all 'states' seek ontological security: this generalisation applies only to those polities that claim to be the main ontological security providers. I then develop a typology of institutional ontological security provision arr…

  • Hierarchies in World Politics

    Open Access•Ayşe ca /21 Jh Zarakol, Ayşe Zarakol•BOOK•Hierarchies in World Politics•2017

    Globalizing processes are gathering increased attention for complicating the nature of political boundaries, authority and sovereignty. Recent examples of global financial and political turmoil have also created a sense of unease about the durability of the modern international order and the ability of our existing theoretical frameworks to explain system dynamics. In light of the inadequacies of traditional international relation (IR) theories i…

  • Geopolitics and Oil, Insurgent Politics, Nuclear Politics, Basing Politics, and Norm Politics

    Deborah Avant, Felix Berenskötter et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Global Security Studies•2017

    This issue launches the third volume of the Journal of Global Security Studies. It begins with an article by Cullen Hendrix arguing that geopolitics conditioned the oil curse. Particularly, he claims that the negative impact oil production has on a country's democratic tendencies is less a timeless result of market dynamics and more a particular consequence of geopolitics in the transition from the Cold War. His reanalysis of data and case examin…

  • Different Pathways to Creative Research and an Experiment with Implications for “Bridging the Gap”

    Deborah Avant, Felix Berenskötter et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Global Security Studies•2017

    The research articles in this issue demonstrate different approaches to creative research in security studies. Our first article by Kathryn Alexander demonstrates the value of bringing insights from one field to another. She draws on findings from American politics on the importance of religiosity for policy attitudes to extrapolate an argument about state bellicosity relevant to international security. Building on Americanists’ arguments, she in…

  • Policy, Politics, Theory, and Practice

    Deborah Avant, Felix Berenskötter et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Global Security Studies•2017

    The contents of this issue tackle a number of problems relevant to public policy and academic theory alike. In the first article, Thomas Ambrosio weighs in on a topic that has dominated headlines in 2017: US-Russian relations. His analysis focuses on how the United States moved from viewing Russia as a potential partner in the first years of the 21st century to seeing it as a threat to US interests. Drawing on the record of executive branch testi…

  • Questioning the Obvious

    Deborah Avant, Felix Berenskötter et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Global Security Studies•2017

    The articles in this issue are joined by their insistence in pushing past common assumptions or truisms in global security. As they do, each analysis demonstrates new insights that should elicit debate and future research. The issue begins with an analysis that asks whether the internet requires hegemonic governance, rather than assuming that it does. Joshua Rovner and Tyler Moore examine the technical and political fallout from Stuxnet and the S…

    The Teaching, Research, and International Policy (TRIP) surveys have become the authoritative source for making sense of the discipline of inter- national relations (IR) as a global field of practice. At relatively regular intervals they provide snap-shots of the discipline based on the self-reporting of IR schol- ars from 20 countries around the world. The TRIP project also includes assessments from “a new journal article database that includes …

    The “big tent” mission of the Journal of Global Security Studies is well illustrated by this issue, as our first four articles explore issues from ontological security to cyber secrecy to sexual torture to traditional analyses of compellent threats. The next three articles illustrate the value of conversation between different parts of the field in their juxtaposition of arms control, humanitarianism, and empire; security governance and domestic …

    It is difficult to overstate the importance of the concept sovereignty for international relations (IR). And yet, understanding the historical emergence of sovereignty in international relations has long been curtailed by the all-encompassing myth of the Peace of Westphalia. While criticism of this myth has opened space for further historical inquiry in recent years, it has also raised important questions of historical interpretation and methodol…
