This article explores what it means to 'animalise' International Relations (IR). The posthuman move in the social sciences has involved the process of de-centring the human, replacing an anthropocentric focus with a view of the human as embedded within a complex network of inter-species relations. In a previous work we drew attention to the lack of analysis within International Relations of the key role played by more-than human animals in situations of conflict. The current COVID-19 pandemic again indicates that an analysis of international relations that does not have at its core an understanding of a more than human world is always going to be an incomplete account. The paper argues for the animalising of International Relations in order to enhance inclusivity, and suggests five ways in which this might be approached. As it becomes increasingly clear that a climate-related collapse is imminent, we argue for a transformative approach to the discipline, stressing interlinked networks and a shared vulnerability as a political project which challenges capitalism (advanced/late/carboniferous/genocidal) and the failure of states to address the concatenation of crises that life on the planet confronts.

Three world telecommunications conferences, called by the United States, were held throughout the spring and summer of 1947 to deal with urgent problems resulting from dislocations of war and recent advances in the several fields covered by the International Telecommunications Union. At a preliminary Telecommunications Conference, held at Moscow in September, 1946, representatives of China, France, the United Kingdom, USSR, and the United States had decided that existing telecommunications conventions and regulations required revision to meet present needs; for this purpose the conferences were called.
