Another key concept inthe political landscape is that of democracy. A concept with a long history, we will analysehow this concept and the promotion of this ‘practice’ has been linked to ideas ofinternational order and governance.

Some might say that the current trends in climate change are thegreatest threat to human kind, even more so than terrorism or weapons of massdestruction.

Seminar Questions:1. Does an exploration of environmental issues require a fundamental reassessment of thecore theories and concepts of International Relations?2. Are sustainability and development irreconcilable?3. Is climate change a question of international social justice?

Week 6 “Anarchy is what states make of it” - the Question of Identity inInternational Relations (36 items)Constructivists such as Alexander Wendt argue that to understand international politicsone needs to look not just at states’ geopolitical interests and materialcapacities, but at the identity that they have constructed for themselves. This session willexplain this perspective in relation to one specific issue: the upholding of the expansion ofNATO after the end of the Cold War. Constructivists usually explain this event by referringto the change of NATO’s identity from a security alliance to an alliance that is used forcivilising purposes.
Seminar Questions:1. Is the concept of identity essential for the study of international relations?2. "NATO has no role to play in the 21st century and should therefore be dissolved."Discuss in relation to questions of identity?3. Can you think of an event in global politics where a state's or organisation's identity hasbeen crucial?

Week 7 Identity, Difference, and Exclusion - Identity Revisited (25 items)While “mainstream” constructivists such as Alexander Wendt are mainly interested inusing the concept of identity to explain the behaviour of states and internationalorganisations, so-called critical constructivists are more interested in how “identity” at avariety of levels (e.g. gender, ethnicity, religion, race), is used to exclude and eliminatewhat is perceived as “different” to oneself. This session will introduce thiscritical perspective in relation to a variety of issues in global politics, such as ethnicconflicts, the war on terror, and humanitarian intervention.
Seminar Questions:1. Is identity always based on exclusion? What does this mean for global politics?2. Is gender as an identity issue relevant for the study of global politics?3. What is the role of discourse in identity-politics?

Week 8 The Past and Present of Colonialism (37 items)Few would dispute the argument that the legacy of colonialism has wide-reachingimplications for global relations of power today, including the way the world is ordered,and the vast inequalities to be found between “developed” and “developing” states.However, it is disputed to what extent our colonial past can account for present problemsin the so-called Global South, and to what extent we can speak of the existence of aneo-colonial global regime. This session will engage with these questions, but it will alsounravel the impact of colonialism on the discipline of international studies itself, byshowing how it is informed by what postcolonial scholars call a Eurocentric view of theworld.
Seminar Questions:1. Is colonialism primarily to be blamed for existing inequalities between the Global Northand the Global South?2. Is there a Eurocentric bias in global politics and its study? Discuss in relation tocontemporary examples.3. Is the category of "race" useful for explaining global politics?

Week 9 Securitization (19 items)This week looks at questions concerning the deepening and widening of the securityagenda in the post-Cold War period. It is concerned with the question of what makes anissue a security issue and the processes involved when an issue is moved from the realmof ‘politics as usual’ to the realm of ‘exceptional politics’ (i.e. to a matter of nationalsecurity). It will also examine the implications of this – particularly, but not exclusively, asit pertains to non-traditional security issues such as the environment or disease.
Seminar Questions:1. What does it mean to understand security as a 'speech act' and how does this challengetraditional conceptualisations of security?2. Is 'more security' always better?3. What is the problem of 'security studies' as a subdiscipline of IR? (see particularlyreading 3: Coleman and Rosenow, 2016)

This week we will build upon questions raised in week 9 – specifically considering the‘securitisation of migration’ that has arguably taken place in Western states in the wake ofthe war on terror. We will also revisit previous discussions you have had in this modulerelated to questions of the identity, sovereignty and conceptualisations of threat/risk.
Seminar Questions:1. What do 'we' owe 'them'?2. How can we begin to make sense of this question? What is implied within its terms? Arethere alternatives? And how do we ground or un-ground any of this theoretically and/orethically?3. How might we think about the question of migration in Europe/the UK in the light ofBrexit?

Week 11 Power and Resistance (26 items)It is one thing to recognize that states and national interests are socially constructed, butquite another to examine the processes by which interests are constituted andreconstituted – i.e., the processes by which change takes place and dominantunderstandings of state, citizenship, place and ‘our’ responsibility as local/global actors areconceptualized and contested. This week will examine the issue of power/resistance in IRwith a specific focus on the question of agency.
Seminar Questions:1. Why does Cynthia Enloe argue that IR scholars need to move their attention beyondformal acts of politics and political violence to the margins and to the bedrooms in order tounderstand "the amounts and varieties of power it takes to sustain any given sets ofrelations between states"? Is this convincing?2. How are the ways we conceptualize power linked to the ways we conceptualizeresistance?3. What are the possibilities for agency/resistance?
