  • The Fragility of Fear: the Contentious Politics of Emotion and Security in Canada
    The Fragility of Fear: the Contentious Politics of Emotion and Security in Canada by Eric Van Rythoven A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Political Science Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario ©2017, Eric Van Rythoven Abstract International Relations (IR) theory commonly holds security arguments as powerful instruments of political mobilization because they work to instill, circulate, and intensify popular fears over a threat to a community. Missing from this view is how security arguments often provoke a much wider range of emotional reactions, many of which frustrate and constrain state officials’ attempts to frame issues as security problems. This dissertation offers a corrective by outlining a theory of the contentious politics of emotion and security. Drawing inspiration from a variety of different social theorists of emotion, including Goffman’s interactionist sociology, this approach treats emotions as emerging from distinctive repertoires of social interaction. These emotions play a key role in enabling audiences to sort through the sound and noise of security discourse by indexing the significance of different events to our bodies. Yet popular emotions are rarely harmonious; they’re socialized and circulated through a myriad of different pathways. Different repertoires of interaction in popular culture, public rituals, and memorialization leave audiences with different ways of feeling about putative threats. The result is mixed and contentious emotions which shape both opportunities and constraints for new security policies. The empirical purchase of this theory is illustrated with two cases drawn from the Canadian context: indigenous protest and the F-35 procurement.

  • From Clean Air to Climate Change, Or Not
    THE SAGA OF BILL C-30: FROM CLEAN AIR TO CLIMATE CHANGE, OR NOT Elizabeth May The environment was nowhere to be seen among the top five priorities of the Harper government when it came into office last year, but public opinion soon forced global warming and climate change onto the agenda. Yet the government’s initial version of its clean air bill was so badly bungled that Prime Minister Harper gratefully accepted NDP leader Jack Layton’s offer to refer it to a special committee of the House. In January, Harper also shuffled the embattled Rona Ambrose off the firing line and brought in the combative John Baird as Environment Minister. “The saga of Bill C-30,” writes Green Party leader Elizabeth May in this update, “is a long way from resolved.” She concludes that “climate is very likely to remain an election issue.” L’environnement ne figurait nulle part parmi les cinq priorités du nouveau gouvernement Harper. Mais l’opinion publique a bientôt contraint celui-ci à intégrer le réchauffement et les changements climatiques à son programme. Cela dit, la version initiale du projet de loi sur l’assainissement de l’air était si bâclée que le premier ministre a volontiers accepté l’offre du chef du NPD, Jack Layton, de renvoyer le tout à un comité spécial de la Chambre des communes. En janvier, Stephen Harper a aussi retiré de la ligne de feu une Rona Ambrose assiégée, la remplaçant au ministère de l’Environnement par le combatif John Baird. « La saga du projet de loi C-30 est loin d’être terminée », écrit la dirigeante du Parti vert, Elizabeth May, selon qui le « climat constituera vraisemblablement un enjeu électoral ».
