International audience ; Together with politics, international news is often considered to be one of the most prestigious elds of journalism. However, making international news attractive is increasingly dicult. Today, one of the main strategies employed by journalists consists in mentioning individuals in the news. The reader is supposed to identify with the mentioned individual(s), and the story is expected to be more successful as a consequence. This paper investigates the interest of using quali-quantitative content analysis to study the semiotics of international news. We analyse six daily newspapers from three developed countries and examine three complementary aspects of the relation between individuals and international news : the level of personication, the type of individual mentioned and the geographical scale to which individuals is connected.

Making credible commitments is a formidable problem for states in the anarchic international system. A long-standing view holds that this is particularly true for democratic states in which changeable public preferences make it difficult for leaders to sustain commitments over time. However, a number of important elements in the values and institutions that have characterized the liberal democratic states should enhance their ability to sustain international commitments. Indeed, an examination of the durability of international military alliances confirms that those between democratic states have endured longer than either alliances between nondemocracies or alliances between democracies and nondemocracies.

This article addresses the question of whether the traditional conceptual problematics that have defined the discipline of international relations (IR) are adequate to the contemporary global order. I propose that the sterile choice between the theoretical tropes of statism and globalisation which has defined recent IR scholarship prevents getting to grips with the 'post-globalisation' nature of phenomena such as al-Qa'eda terrorism and the war on terror launched in response. In this light it is necessary to ask whether the state of the art in IR needs critical re-evaluation. I examine the conceptual problematics that delineate IR as a distinct intellectual terrain. These are identified as the problems of morphology, governance and violence in the global order. I then outline the orthodox, statist resolution of these problematics. The inadequacy of such a resolution is noted and an outline proposal for recasting the discipline of IR is advanced. I conclude by noting that while the conceptual tropes historically deployed to understand global politics might be inadequate, it is not necessary to discard IR as a distinct intellectual terrain. Rather a revivification of this terrain beyond statism and globalism is required.
