Rethinking Global Governance? Complexity, Authority, Power, Change

Abstract: Global governance remains notoriously slippery. While the term arose to describe change in the late twentieth century, its association with that specific moment has frozen it in time and deprived it of analytical utility. It has become an alternative moniker for international organizations, a descriptor for an increasingly crowded world stage, a call to arms, an attempt to control the pernicious aspects of globalization, and a synonym for world government. This article aims not to advance a theory of global governance but to highlight where core questions encourage us to go. A more rigorous conception should help us understand the nature of the contemporary phenomenon as well as look “backwards” and “forwards.” Such an investigation should provide historical insights as well as prescriptive elements to understand the kind of world order that we ought to be seeking and encourage us to investigate how that global governance could be realized.

Synthesising media, politics and foreign intervention :an examination into Malawi's media system transformation

Abstract: The conventional method for studying media systems has been to analyse the relationship between media and politics, based on Hallin and Mancini’s (2004) seminal research Comparing Media Systems: Three Models of Media and Politics. Their approach automatically places the nation-state as the key unit of analysis to understand why media systems are the way they are and why they change. Research that has advanced this endogenous method of analysis in countries outside of the Western, democratically advanced context, has brought to light the importance of including external factors in studying media systems. Building off this analytical direction, this thesis introduces three new external factors; foreign aid, the conditionalities attached to foreign aid, and the role of externally created Pan-African media policy agreements. Using a case study of Malawi, a small aid-dependent country in Southeast Africa, this research interrogates these three factors to reveal that foreign aid is a coercive foreign policy tool that has been used for manipulating change and shaping the type of media Malawi has. Based on the country’s recent transformation from its authoritarian populist1 past towards the dominant liberal media model in 2012, this research also reassesses Hallin and Mancini’s convergence thesis, which claimed that most countries are ‘naturally’ heading towards the dominant liberal media model. Drawing on theoretical contributions made from the fields of international relations and international development, this thesis develops a critical international political economy approach to the theory of foreign intervention to challenge this claim. By including the structural and ideological power arrangements of the global economy this theoretical framework reinvigorates post-colonial thinking, as well as broadening our understanding of how power is exercised in order to capture existing international power imbalances that exogenously influence change.

Microfoundations in international relations

Abstract: Many of our theories of international politics rely on microfoundations. In this short note, I suggest that although there has been increasing interest in microfoundations in international relation...

Le potentiel de Smart Power de l'UE : comment penser la puissance européenne ?

Abstract: Depuis les annees 1970, bien avant l’entree en vigueur du traite de Maastricht, le statut de l’UE dans les relations internationales et donc sa puissance est une source des debats conceptuels. Bien que la construction europeenne soit souvent vue comme un processus de renoncement a la puissance, l’idee d’une Europe puissance qui se substitute a l’impuissance des Etats membres apres la Seconde Guerre mondiale est toujours presente parmi les representants de divers approches des relations internationales: puissance civile, puissance normative, puissance militaire, puissance douce, etc. Il faut remarquer que la recherche pour les nouveaux concepts supposes decrire toujours mieux la nature enigmatique de la puissance europeenne continue. L’objectif de ce travail est de contribuer a ce debat en utilisant le concept de smart power, combinaison raisonne de hard et de soft power, pour decrire le rapport de l’UE a la puissance. Le concept de smart power parait pertinent pour expliquer le modele de la puissance de l’Union, meme si, en pratique, l’UE a des difficultes a exercer le smart power en raison du manque de volonte parmi ces pays membres.
