Conceptualizing the foreign policy roles of states dealing with historical traumas: the case of Israel European Journal of International Relations (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2024-09-17 Emmanuelle Blanc, Irena Kalhousová
While growing attention has been given to the impact of historical traumas on international politics, we know little about how trauma influences the foreign policy of states that have experienced trauma(s). Challenging the dichotomous conceptualization of traumatized states’ behaviours as either aggressive or pacifist, we show that traumatized states tend to articulate their foreign policy roles in

Voice, exit . . . arbitrage: the politics of the modern multinational firm European Journal of International Relations (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2024-08-29 Ronen Palan
Multinational corporations (MNCs) are often seen as singular organizations, with a parent company controlling branches in other countries. But this is an abridged version of decentred corporate groups structured as clusters of separate legal entities in several jurisdictions held together by equity ties. The article argues that while the abridged version of the MNC matches those aspects of those organizations

The “negative” view of human nature: apologia for an unrealistic assumption European Journal of International Relations (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2024-08-15 Francesco Raschi, Lorenzo Zambernardi
The “negative” view of human nature is customarily seen as a distinctive assumption of the classical realist approach. Such a controversial characterization is regarded either as a metaphysical conception belonging to the pre-scientific age of realism or as a dangerous self-fulfilling prophecy. Although the dark image of human nature has elicited fierce critiques, we contend that it needs to be reconsidered

How informality keeps multilateralism going: the role of informal groupings in EU foreign policy negotiations European Journal of International Relations (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2024-08-15 Marianna Lovato
Informal groupings of states – either as stand-alone entities or as part of formal international organizations (IOs) – are playing an increasingly important role in sustaining multilateralism and global governance. But what is it about the informal nature of these groupings that makes them such a critical and increasingly popular fixture of international cooperation? To answer this question, the paper

Capitalizing on a crisis: the European Union Trust Fund for Africa European Journal of International Relations (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2024-08-10 Darshan Vigneswaran, Nora Söderberg, Natalie Welfens, Saskia Bonjour
How do foreign policies and transnational projects become resistant to critique? This article seeks to better understand the legitimation of policies by studying the work involved in justifying public funding of migration and development initiatives. Government expenditures on migration and development have been increasing in recent years, despite widely shared concerns regarding the merits of such

Transformative indicators? Gender expertise and technocratic peace European Journal of International Relations (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2024-07-25 Laura McLeod
In the last decade, the use of indicators to track implementation of international peacebuilding and peacekeeping programmes, policies and practices has proliferated. Indicators are criticised by many scholars for their technocratic, standardised and colonialising effects. This article follows a different line of inquiry. Can indicators be transformative? Contemporary critiques place indicators as

When do member state withdrawals lead to the death of international organizations? European Journal of International Relations (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2024-07-25 Inken von Borzyskowski, Felicity Vabulas
Recent research has drawn attention to states’ backlash against international organizations (IOs), including whether member state withdrawals affect the longevity of IOs. We therefore ask when do member state withdrawals lead to the death of IOs? We are skeptical of a general link between withdrawal and IO death because on average, any one member is not critical for the survival of an IO. Also, withdrawal

Exploring the impact of United Nations peacekeeping operations on the external affairs of host states European Journal of International Relations (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2024-05-10 Richard Caplan, John Gledhill, Maline Meiske
Studies of United Nations (UN) peacekeeping operations (PKOs) typically give scant attention to an important aspect of host states’ development: their external affairs. This article identifies ways in which UN PKOs can shape the external affairs of host states, focusing on UN peacekeeping in the post-Cold War period. We present the findings of a quantitative content analysis of key UN peacekeeping

The analysis discusses the case of the British Army’s Royal Corps of Engineers in 1860s British Columbia and in Helmand, Afghanistan following the post-2001 invasion.

Constructing decolonisation: the Greenland case and the birth of integration as decolonisation in the United Nations, 1946–1954 European Journal of International Relations (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2024-04-02 Frederik B. Jerris
How did it become possible for Denmark to integrate Greenland into the colonial metropole during anti-colonial post-Second World War multilateral diplomacy on decolonisation? Scholarship on the evolution of international society generally equates post-war political decolonisation with the universalisation of sovereign independence. This leaves unaddressed that a quarter of colonial territories did

Time, the state system and the double chronopolitics of managing ‘migrants’: implications of the Windrush scandal European Journal of International Relations (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2024-03-21 Maja Zehfuss
This article examines the double chronopolitics of managing migrants through tracing how the spatialised state system positions migrants as ‘out of place’. Taking its cue from the 2018 Windrush scandal in the United Kingdom, which revealed that the state had declared long-term legal residents illegal, the article interrogates the moral order engendered by the imaginary of the state system. It shows

A partial conversion: how the ‘unholy trinity’ of global economic governance adapts to state capitalism European Journal of International Relations (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2024-01-31 Ilias Alami, Jack Taggart
To what extent is neoliberal global economic governance transforming in a world where states play greater roles as promoters, supervisors and owners of capital? Do these transformations signal a potential paradigm shift? To answer these questions, we focus on global financial governance and the trade and investment regime. We analyse recent policy documents from the IMF, World Bank and WTO – the ‘Unholy

Uncertainty in times of ecological crisis: a Knightian tale of how to face future states of the world European Journal of International Relations (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2024-01-23 Sylvain Maechler, Jean-Christophe Graz
How do we face uncertainty in times of crisis? Debates in International Relations often struggle to disentangle the processes involved in turning the uncertainty of a crisis into decisions and actions. Drawing on the analysis of Frank H. Knight, we argue that decisions and actions taken by international actors in times of crisis are underpinned by the way that information is accessed, interpreted,

Moral status – human status? Interrogating the connection between morality and dehumanisation during mass violence European Journal of International Relations (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2024-01-18 Torsten Michel
Beginning with early studies in the 1970s, dehumanisation has become a key feature in attempts to grasp the fundamental dynamics and conditions under which mass atrocities emerge. One of the most long-standing, prominent and widely accepted conceptions sees the loss of moral status as a key constitutive component of processes of dehumanisation, suggesting that the victims’ exclusion from the moral

Combat, commitment, and the termination of Africa’s mutual interventions European Journal of International Relations (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2022-08-01 Henning Tamm, Allard Duursma
African states fight each other far more often by simultaneously supporting rebels in each other’s intrastate conflicts than by engaging in direct warfare. While nearly half of these mutual interventions between 1960 and 2010 were resolved via bilateral negotiated settlements, the majority of cases ended due to events in, or actions by, only one of the two states. What explains this variation? We argue

Historical states, be they sprawling empires or nominal vassal states, can make lasting impressions on the territories they once governed. We argue that more historical states located within the borders of modern states increase the chance of civil conflict because they (1) created networks useful for insurgency, (2) were symbols of past sovereignty, (3) generated modern ethnic groups that activated

Meaning making in peacekeeping missions: mandate interpretation and multinational collaboration in the UN mission in Mali European Journal of International Relations (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2022-07-06 Chiara Ruffa, Sebastiaan Rietjens
Peacekeeping helps to prevent conflict and to protect civilians. But how does it work to achieve those aims? Notwithstanding a growing recognition that peacekeeping mandates alone do not directly determine what actually happens in the field, we still know little about how—once deployed—military units translate an ambiguous mandate into action. In this paper, we focus on one dimension of peacekeepers’
