Yet, assumptions about temporality are at the core of many theories of world politics and time is a crucial component of the human condition and our social reality. Today, a small but emerging strand of literature has emerged to meet questions concerning time and temporality and its relationship to International Relations head on. This volume provides a platform to continue this work. The chapters in this book address subjects such as identity, terrorism, war, gender relations, global ethics and governance in order to demonstrate how focusing on the temporal aspects of such phenomena can enhance our understanding of the world. v About the Editors Andrew Hom is a postdoctoral fellow in Politics at the University of Glasgow’s School of Social and Political Sciences, researching the temporality of victory in war. His research interests include timing and time, security, international theory, the vocation of IR, and philosophies of social science. Previously, he taught at the University of St Andrews and Vanderbilt University, after earning a PhD from Aberystwyth University and sundry degrees from the University of Kansas. Examples of his work can be found in Security Dialogue, Review of International Studies, International Studies Review and Military Review. Alasdair McKay is an editor-at-large at E-International Relations. He holds undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in politics from the universities of Manchester and Aberystwyth. He has worked for an African human rights NGO and in the parliamentary office of an MP. Christopher McIntosh is a currently a Visiting Assistant Professor of Political Studies at Bard College. He has broad research interests in international relations theory and security studies, including: time/temporality in IR theory and practice; the relationship between the concepts of war and sovereignty and the implications this has for the contemporary practice of political violence; U.S. strategy in the war on terror; and the likelihood of nuclear terrorism. His work has been published in International Theory, Studies in Conflict and Terrorism and Orbis. He is currently working on a book project on how the concept of time informs IR scholarship. Liam Stockdale is a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute on Globalisation and the Human Condition and the Institute for Innovation and Excellence in Teaching and Learning at McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada. His research interests sit at the intersection of international relations theory, critical security studies and contemporary social and political thought – with a particular emphasis on the temporalities of societal governance. He is the author of the book Taming an Uncertain Future: Temporality, Sovereignty, and the Politics of Anticipatory Governance (Rowman & Littlefield, 2016), and has previously published on the relationship between time and globalisation, and the global politics of sport. vi Time, Temporality and Global Politics Contents INTRODUCTION Alasdair McKay 1 1.

He further opined that time ‘will work against us if we do not use it properly’ (quoted in Gellately 2007: 375). As early as 1937, Hitler believed that success hinged upon acting at the right time (see Faber 2009). For Hitler, quick decisive victories were often seen as preferable to long campaigns because he understood that the longer the war went on the harder it would be for the Germans to maintain military advantages (Fischer 2011: 144-45). Blitzkrieg (lightning war) was deployed to ensure the speedy victories he desired. The defeat of France was made possible by Germany’s quick intensity of warfare and the failure of the French military to understand ‘the quickened rhythm of the times’ that was behind German military strategic thinking during that campaign (Bloch 1968: 45). America’s increasing support for the UK meant that if Hitler was to realise his plan of creating an Eastern Lebensraum, he needed to do it quickly (Fritz 2011: 39). By 1945, when defeat was looming, Hitler lamented that ‘the tragedy for us Germans is that we never have enough time’ (quoted in Fischer 2011: 145). This example drawn from the Second World War gives a flavour of how time is relevant to major international events. Yet, out of all the books and journals that have been published under the rubric of International Relations (IR) very few have paused to ponder the role of time or temporality.

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-49469-4 — Women's International Thought: A New History Edited by Patricia Owens , Katharina Rietzler Frontmatter More Information Women’s International Thought: A New History Women’s International Thought: A New History is the first cross- disciplinary history of women’s international thought. Bringing together some of the foremost historians and scholars of international relations working today, this book recovers and analyzes the path-breaking work of eighteen leading thinkers of international politics from the early to mid-twentieth century. Recovering and analyzing this important work, the essays offer revisionist accounts of IR’s intellectual and disciplinary history and expand the locations, genres, and practices of international thinking. Systematically structured, and focusing in particular on Black diasporic, Anglo-American, and European historical women, it does more than “add women” to the existing intellectual and disciplinary histories from which they were erased. Instead, it raises fundamental questions about which kinds of subjects and what kind of thinking constitutes international thought, opening new vistas to scholars and students of international history and theory, intellectual history and women’s and gender studies. patricia owens is Professor of International Relations and Fellow of Somerville College at the University of Oxford. Her previous publica- tions include Economy of Force (2015), winner of BISA’s Susan Strange Prize, Between War and Politics (2007) and co-editor of The Globalization of World Politics (2020). She is a former fellow of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study and Proctor Fellow at Princeton University. katharina rietzler is Lecturer in American History at the Univer- sity of Sussex.

  • Arendt, Metaphors and the Eu: Why Words Matter!
    EUROPEAN COMMISSION DIRECTORATE-GENERAL JOINT RESEARCH CENTRE Scientific Development Unit Brussels, November 8, 2017. ARENDT, METAPHORS AND THE EU: WHY WORDS MATTER! CONVERSATION AMONG ARENDTIAN SCHOLARS AND LINGUISTS NOVEMBER 16 2017 9.00-13.00 (BRUSSELS TIME UTC +01:00) https://webcast.ec.europa.eu/er-workshop-reframing-the-eu-why-words-matter 1. CONTEXT AND BACKGROUND We are living unstable times politically-wise and the European Union is in the eye of the storm. The EU is at the crossroads. To strengthen its ability to make the proper choices, there is a need for an increased critical consciousness of the implicit conceptual frameworks underlying EU policy-making. As well put by Mary Midgley1, conceptualization is not only for professional philosophers: all men and women, including policy-makers, think and act according to conceptualizations, and Georges Lakoff and Mark Johnson have shown that these conceptualizations are revealed in language through metaphorical expressions2. This is particularly true when it comes to politics and policy-making: metaphors play an "indispensable role in making [the non- observables political things] manifest.[…They] disclose the meaning or reality of political things not by constituting them, however, but by manifesting their intelligible structure"3. Because metaphors matter, their usage bears consequences. As stated by Jonathan Charteris-Black, "[m]etaphor both reflects and determines how we think and feel about the world and, therefore, understanding more about metaphor is an essential component of intellectual freedom."4 It is our hypothesis that the crisis of the EU can be analysed as a misuse of metaphors, revealing "an inexact correspondence between the user's 1 Midgley, Mary.
