Heterarchy in World Politics
Heterarchy in World Politics challenges the fundamental framing of international relations and world politics. IR theory has always been dominated by the presumption that world politics is, at its core, a system of states. However, this has always been problematic, challengeable, time-bound, and increasingly anachronistic. In the 21st century, world politics is becoming increasingly multi-nodal and characterized by "heterarchy" – the coexistence and conflict between differently structured micro- and meso quasi-hierarchies that compete and overlap not only across borders but also across economic-financial sectors and social groupings. Thinking about international order in terms of heterarch...

Understanding International Relations
The fifth edition of this bestselling textbook offers a comprehensive and engaging introduction to International relations and has been fully updated to cover the dramatic changes in recent world politics. Written in the author's unique and engaging style, the text explores everything from foreign policy and security to global governance and the global economy, to show how the theories and concepts Brown outlines are the only way to make sense of contemporary issues and events. With reference to such diverse events as Brexit, the Russian armed conflict in Ukraine, the financial crisis, the rise of China, and the challenges of identity politics, the author expertly shows how the range of theo...
The Routledge Handbook of European Integrations
The Routledge Handbook of European Integrations fills a significant gap in the European studies literature by providing crucial and groundbreaking coverage of several key areas that are usually neglected or excluded in European integration collections. Whilst still examining the largest and most influential institutions, bodies and highly-funded policy areas as acknowledged dominant topics in European studies, it crucially does so with much greater balance by devoting equal billing to areas such as culture in European integration or new technologies and their impact on the EU. Organised around three main sections – culture, technology and ‘tangibles’ – the book: offers an authoritati...
Disney Princesses and Tween Identity
Disney Princesses and Tween Identity: The Franchise in Illiberal Hungary examines how tweens in illiberal Hungary construct verbal and visual identities through engagement with Disney princess animations. Presenting and analyzing ethnographic research in the form of interviews with Hungarian tweens around the time of the populist government’s winning the general elections in 2018, Anna Zsubori reveals the importance of social and cultural context in establishing the Disney princess phenomenon as a heterogeneous cultural force. The ambivalent and sometimes even contradictory ideas of identity expressed by the tweens highlight the role that diverse audiences, local negotiations, and dynamic discourses play in the reception of the Disney princess animations. Combining thematic and semiotic textual analyses of the conversations, tweens’ drawings and building blocks, and broader contextual examinations of the sessions with Hungarian children, this book offers original contributions on both theoretical and methodological levels.
Passage au crible de la scène mondiale
Réunissant des contributions sur l'actualité internationale de ces dernières années, cet ouvrage éclaire le lecteur sur les lignes de forces parcourant la scène mondiale, notamment la subversion des diplomaties non-étatiques face aux Etats, comme l'enchevêtrement des normes publiques et privées. Il analyse aussi le processus de privatisation de la sécurité, et met en perspective les Biens Publics Mondiaux.
The Political Economy of Disney
This book sheds new light on the socio-economic impact of multinational corporations. Combining Cultural Studies and International Political Economy, it provides a revealing analysis of the Walt Disney Company, and by extension the wider Hollywood studio system. It does so by examining the cultural and economic forces powering the industry's expansion, the 'civilisation' that Disney disseminates, and the various ways that societies beyond the USA have adopted facets of the Hollywood productions to which they are exposed. Identifying both the strengths and the weaknesses of these transnational firms, it demonstrates the significance of their contribution to American power and predominance.
Les compromis médiatiques de MSF au Yémen
Cette étude de sociologie des relations internationales fondée sur l'expérience vécue par l'auteur au sein de Médecins Sans Frontières, revient sur la portée des prises de parole de MSF, soucieux de témoigner du sort des victimes et d'apporter une aide aux populations du Yémen durant la guerre de Saada (2044-2010), et de limiter les confrontations avec les belligérants, d'une part le gouvernement yéménite, d'autre part le mouvement armé houthiste et impliquant des Etats comme le Qatar.
La brutalisation du monde
L’émergence des États au sortir du Moyen Âge a progressivement conduit à une réduction des violences privées. Ce tournant civilisationnel s’est traduit par un refoulement de la pulsion de mort qui a pris la forme d’un monopole de l’État sur les guerres et d’une pacification diplomatique. Mais, désormais, avec la mondialisation des violences non-étatiques et des communautarismes, les sociétés doivent faire face à la brutalisation du monde, caractérisée par des affrontements identitaires, une destruction du lien social et un affaiblissement des solidarités.
Les marxistes dans la théorie des conflits internationaux
Cet ouvrage est consacré aux principaux théoriciens marxistes. Il s'attache à montrer, dans une première partie, comment les pères fondateurs et les premiers théoriciens marxistes (Marx, Engels, Lénine, Trotsky, Kautsky, Luxembourg, Liebknecht, Jaurès, Bernstein, Bauer) ont abordé la domination mondiale du capitalisme, et quelles approches ils ont élaborées sur la paix et la guerre. Dans une seconde partie, l'auteur traite de l'Ecole de la dépendance (Celso Furtado, André Gunder Frank, Fermando Henrique Cardoso) et des néomarxistes (Immanuel Wallerstein, Robert Cox, Stephen Gill, Eric Hobsbawm) pour évaluer les travaux critiques qu'ils ont menés sur les partages violents du monde.
