Abstract

This handbook offers a unique approach to the question: How do scholars write the future of global politics? Written in futur antérieur style, around the 200-year anniversary of the birth of International Relations (IR) as an academic discipline, the contributions engage in world-building and imagine different futures of IR. Set in a multiverse, 23 chapters draw on a range of possible themes and imaginaries, for instance post-pandemic conditions, the Anthropocene, and not least academic practices and the role of researchers. A concluding chapter anchors these explorations in contemporary discussions. The book mirrors the format and style of existing handbooks, combining outlines and discussions of theories, structures, processes, and core issues in IR with an academic science fiction account of how these might play out over the course of the next century. In doing so, the book challenges IR and provides alternative imaginaries, rather than predicting future conditions for all humanity. The book invites readers to reflect on how thinking about the future has become an increasingly radical, but more than ever necessary act.

Abstract

“In this captivating book Yong-Soo Eun makes the case for rethinking fixed and fluid identities in terms of “both-and” rather than “either-or.” They are emergent processes grounded in an ontology of immanence. Thought-provoking theoretical discussions and rich empirical illustrations are brought together in an illuminating essay that is germane for all students of IR theory.” —Peter J. Katzenstein, Walter S. Carpenter Jr. Professor of International Studies, Cornell University, USA “Eun Yong-Soo’s ontological rethinking of identity in International Studies provides a fresh perspective on conventional and critical constructivist approaches to the subject. Moving beyond the either/or to the both/and, he re-grounds identity in a Deleuzian ontology of immanence. The book provides not only a beautifully written and concise typology of existing constructivisms, but also through an unpacking of components of European, Chinese and South Korean identities, a model for investigating identity construction in practice, which he further situates in a field that has tended to reify distinctions between West and non-West. The book is must reading for all who seek a way out of the current impasse and a richer understanding of what it might mean for IR to ‘become rhizomatic.’” —K.M. Fierke, Professor of International Relations, School of International Relations, St. Andrews, UK “Engaging Western constructivist theories, continental philosophy and East Asian sources, Yong-Soo Eun offers a new typology for understanding the role of identity in International Relations research. The ensuing insights advance important scholarly debates that have both conceptual and practical implications.” —Roland Bleiker, Professor of International Relations, University of Queensland, Australia This book shows that identity studies in IR generally cohere around two discrete understandings of being, substantialism and correlationism, and that their analytical, theoretical, and epistemological orientations are split along those lines. The author argues that the best way to step outside that binary is to re-ground identity in ontology of immanence. Yong-Soo Eun is Professor of Political Science and International Studies at Hanyang University, Seoul, South Korea.

Abstract

This edited book will examine the Balkans and Eastern Mediterranean from multidimensional geo-strategic, political-economic, socio-cultural/religious and demographic perspectives. It analyzes the conflicting geopolitical interests of the major and regional powers, as well as those of NATO and the European Union, with a focus on energy, democracy and corruption, shifts in population, as well as religious political influence. The authors argue that the US, NATO and EU leaderships can no longer afford to ignore the two regions — if the increasing potential for conflict is to be averted. The Balkans and Eastern Mediterranean are returning to a major position in the contemporary geostrategic nexus since NATO began a new expansion into the Balkans by bringing Montenegro in 2017 and North Macedonia in March 2020 into membership, after its previous expansion to Slovenia in NATO’s “Big Bang” in 2004 and to both Albania and Croatia in 2009. Hall Gardner is Full Professor of History and Politics at The American University of Paris, France. .
