  • Re-Conceptualizing Orders in the Mena Region the Analytical Framework of the Menara Project
    No. 1, November 2016 METHODOLOGY AND CONCEPT PAPERS RE-CONCEPTUALIZING ORDERS IN THE MENA REGION THE ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK OF THE MENARA PROJECT Edited by Eduard Soler i Lecha (coordinator), Silvia Colombo, Lorenzo Kamel and Jordi Quero This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under grant agreement No 693244 Middle East and North Africa Regional Architecture: Mapping Geopolitical Shifts, Regional Order and Domestic Transformations METHODOLOGY AND CONCEPT PAPERS No. 1, November 2016 RE-CONCEPTUALIZING ORDERS IN THE MENA REGION THE ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK OF THE MENARA PROJECT Edited by Eduard Soler i Lecha (coordinator), Silvia Colombo, Lorenzo Kamel and Jordi Quero ABSTRACT The aim of this work is to set the conceptual architecture for the MENARA Project. It is articulated in five thematic sections. The first one traces back the major historical junctures in which key powers shaped the defining features of the present-day MENA region. Section 2 sets the geographical scope of the project, maps the distribution of power and defines regional order and its main features. Section 3 focuses on the domestic orders in a changing region by gauging and tracing the evolution of four trends, namely the erosion of state capacity; the securitization of regime policies; the militarization of contention; and the pluralization of collective identities. Section 4 links developments in the global order to their impact on the region in terms of power, ideas, norms and identities. The last section focuses on foresight studies and proposes a methodology to project trends and build scenarios. All sections, as well as the conclusion, formulate specific research questions that should help us understand the emerging geopolitical order in the MENA.

  • The Evolution of International Society: a Comparative Historical Analysis/Adam Watson
    THE EVOLUTION OF INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY This uniquely comprehensive historical study analyses and explains how international societies function. After examining the ancient states systems, the author looks in more detail at the European society of states and at our worldwide contemporary society, which grew out of it. The book demonstrates that relations between states are not normally anarchies, but organized international or supernational societies regulated by elaborate rules and practices, which derive substantially from experience. Our present international society, for all its individuality, is the latest in the series. The Evolution of International Society is a major contribution to international theory, and to our understanding of how relations between states operate. Current interest in international order and the hegemonial authority, and the renewed concern with history in political science, make this a timely book. ‘A stunning success. Watson’s book is a masterful piece of theoretical and historical analysis.’ John A.Vasquez, Rutgers University Adam Watson has been a British Ambassador and Assistant Under-Secretary of State, Chairman of the British Committee for the Theory of International Politics and, since 1978, Professor of International Relations at the University of Virginia.

  • The English School on Diplomacy
    DISCUSSION PAPERS IN DIPLOMACY The English School on Diplomacy Iver B. Neumann Netherlands Institute of International Relations ‘Clingendael’ ISSN 1569-2981 DISCUSSION PAPERS IN DIPLOMACY Editor: Spencer Mawby, University of Leicester Managing Editor: Jan Melissen, Netherlands Institute of International Relations ‘Clingendael’ Desk top publishing: Birgit Leiteritz Editorial Board Karin Aggestam, Lund University Geoff Berridge, University of Leicester Erik Goldstein, Boston University Donna Lee, University of Nottingham Paul Sharp, University of Minnesota, Duluth ABSTRACT Dominant schools of International Relations theorising such as neo-realism and neo- liberalism have bracketed the study of diplomacy in favour of abstract studies of the states system and the functioning of specific institutions such as the UN. Among the discipline’s research programmes, the English School specifically lists diplomacy as one of five broad institutions which constitute its chosen subject matter. This Discussion Paper details the School’s findings and concludes that interest in the subject appears to be declining. Two fairly recent studies by Der Derian and Reus- Smit, which are written at the margins of the school, seem to point the way forward by crossing key School insights and historical findings with more overriding general concerns in the social sciences. Diplomacy should be studied concretely, as a specific practice which is carried out by human beings acting inside a web of historically emergent norms and organisations. Inasmuch as these norms and organisations seem to be changing, so does diplomacy. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Iver B. Neumann, D.Phil. ([email protected]) is on leave from his job as research professor at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs to work as a policy planner in the Norwegian Ministry of International Affairs.

Digital sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav https://doi.org/10.1177/0047117817747666DOI: 10.1177/0047117817747666 communications networks journals.sagepub.com/home/ire and the changing dynamics of transnational contention Tobias Lemke and Michael W Habegger University of Delaware Abstract In English School theory, the putative change from an international society of states to a world society of individuals is usually associated with the diffusion of a benign form of cosmopolitanism and the normative agenda of solidarism. Consequently, the notion that world society might enable alternative expressions of transnational politics, independent from international society, remains underdeveloped. Drawing on the literature of contentious politics and social movements, this article challenges orthodox accounts and suggests that the global proliferation of digitally mediated linkages between individuals and nonstate actors constitutes a fundamental challenge to traditional dynamics of interstate communication in the form of the diplomatic system. This provides an opportunity to reconceptualize world society as an alternative site of politics distinct from mainstream international society and generative of its own logic of communication, mobilization, and action. The 2011 events in Egypt and the ongoing digital presence of the so- called Islamic State are used to demonstrate how massive increases in global interaction capacity are transforming the pathways for political contention and collective mobilization worldwide. Keywords contentious politics, diplomacy, Egypt, English School, ISIL, social media, technology, transnational communication Corresponding authors: Tobias Lemke, Department of Political Science and International Relations, University of Delaware, 333 Smith Hall, 18 Amstel Avenue, Newark, DE 19716, USA.

  • An English School Account of How Presumed Statehood Undermines (Development In) Sub- Saharan Africa
    Analyzing the European Development Fund: An English School Account of How Presumed Statehood Undermines (Development in) Sub- Saharan Africa By Stefan Cibian Submitted to Central European University Department of International Relations and European Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Supervisor: Prof. Uwe Puetter, PhD (Word count: 90,445) Budapest, Hungary September 2011 Declaration I hereby declare that no parts of the thesis have been submitted towards a degree at any other institution different from CEU. To my knowledge the thesis neither contains unreferenced material nor ideas from other authors. .................................................................... Signature ii Abstract This thesis engages in an analysis of the European Development Fund (EDF) in order to show how the underpinning theoretical and conceptual frameworks fail to enable a sufficient understanding of Sub-Saharan African (SSA) statehood and development practices. The thesis argues that development failures in SSA are inherently linked to donors‘ misunderstanding of partner states. Equally important, this thesis argues that development failures are connected to donors‘ incapacity to connect to local SSA governance and social realities. The puzzle is not only that there is an evident mismatch between donor policies and local social realities, but as well that western donors appear to be incapable of understanding SSA governance and social realties while claiming to sustain their development. An interpretive research design has been employed for uncovering the perceptions and beliefs of policy-makers and non-governmental organizations (NGO) employees involved in EDF-related processes. The findings show that the European EDF policy-makers, while being responsible for designing development policies, encounter substantive difficulties in understanding the way partner governments and more broadly SSA states and societies function.
