Mohammed Khatami, shortly after his election as the President of Iran, initiated a global public discourse that directly responded to Samuel Huntington's prediction of a coming clash of civilizations. Drawing on the institutions available in global civil society, & creating an episodic public sphere around the issue of civilizational relations, Khatami's call for dialogue succeeded in reframing intercivilizational relations. The initiation & the impact of the "dialogue of civilizations" poses important questions for international relations theory & practice. It can best be understood in international public spheres theory, drawing on Habermas's theory of communicative action & recent deliberative democracy literature. While this initiative has only partially shifted the strategic relations between Iran & the US, it has succeeded in creating an issue-specific international public sphere in which communicative action has produced new conditions for the relations between the West & Islam. These global discourses demonstrate the potential for communicative action within international public spheres to significantly affect important aspects of international relations, producing outcomes very different from those predicted by rationalist or realist theories.

Rozman shows how East Asia's international relations can be best understood through the lens of triangles, analyzing relations between the key nations through a series of trilateral relationships. He argues that triangles present a convincing answer to the question of whether we are entering a new era of bipolarity like the Cold War, or an age of multipolarity. Triangulation emerged as a dynamic in East Asia in the aftermath of the Cold War, but has been accelerated in the wake of the Xi and Trump administrations. Even as Sino-US competition and confrontation deepens, triangles have a substantial presence. East Asian triangles share an unusual mixture of three distinct elements: deep-seated security distrust; extraordinary economic interdependence; and a combustible composition of historical resentments and civilizational confidence. The combination of the three makes the case for triangularity more compelling, Rozman argues. The legacy of communism, the pursuit of reunification on the Korean Peninsula, and moves to expand beyond the US-Japan alliance have all driven the way triangles have evolved. Rozman evaluates each key triangle of states in turn and assesses how the relationship impacts the region more widely. An essential framework for understanding the current state and trajectory of East Asian International relations, for students and policy-makers.

Why does security require to be handled carefully? Can there be too much security? The scholars of the Copenhagen School: O. Wæver and B. Buzan, tackled these questions using the theory of securitization and studying security as a form of social practice. The idea that security should not always be regarded as an absolute good in international politics and threats should not always be objectified is firmly rooted in the constructivist approaches to studying international security. A continuation of these discussions may be found in the theoretical approaches that have been developed for almost fifteen years by the so-called Paris School of international security studies. Unfortunately, one has to admit that although Russian scholars are familiar with these theoretical approaches in general, the existing reviews are still largely superficial. In order to fill this gap, I have attempted to overview and assess the intellectual heritage of the Paris School comprehensively and holistically, turning to the original works of the leading figures within the school: D. Bigo and J. Huysmans. This article continues the series of studies, entirely devoted to the phenomenon of securitization: from the early drafts of the theory towards the modern theoretical concepts.Some of the notions are introduced into the Russian academic use: "domains of insecurity," "exceptional securitizing,""diffuse securitizing."The article focuses on analyzing the theoretical and philosophical underpinnings of the Paris School approach in general and the theory of (in)securitization in particular. It gives a detailed review of the authors' ideas about the "security-insecurity" dialectical nexus and securitization as a political technology.The final part summarizes the key points and provisions of the Paris School approach in light of its strengths and flaws. I conclude that the Paris School scholars formulated a new theoretical framework of securitization, which is different from the original version of the theory and based on the different logic of security. The proposed approach is valuable for constructive reflection and critical analysis of security practices that are most common in contemporary neoliberal societies of the West.

It seems that the time is the balance sheets. The Handbook multiply (Oxford University Press, Routledge), as well as the Companions (Wiley, Ashgate). In France, it remains faithful to encyclopedias and dictionaries, but they are hardly great teachers who write textbooks. In history of international relations, it is often due to the Duroselle updated by Andre Kaspi (1960), the 'Masson'/Girault-Frank (1980), to 'Milza' (years 1970-1990) and 'Armand Colin' by Maurice Vaisse (now in its thirteenth edition). While consumers for students, there are other manuals, but which seem insufficient to face feelings of fragmentation and balkanization due to the proliferation of publications (new books, new journals), themes and large collective projects Research also faces the emergence of thousands of young researchers resulting from higher education in full quantitative and geographic mutation worldwide. In fact, when compared to those of other countries, the general histories of the foreign policy of France are very few. Long dominated by the students of Jean-Baptiste Duroselle, who come from retiring, the 'French school' has expanded its many reflections and analysis fields. Again, balance sheets have just been prepared. Adapted from the source document.

The system of international relations is undergoing a period of serious transformation. The changes that have occurred have touched upon the fundamental princi ples and structure-forming elements of the world political system, thereby determining the long-term trends of its development.

AbstractThe disciplinary history of international relations (IR) is usually told as a succession of theories or "isms" that are connected to academic schools. Echoing the increasing criticism of this narrative, we present in this article a new perspective on the discipline. We introduce concepts from linguistics and its method of digital discourse analysis (DDA) to explore discursive shifts and terminological entrepreneurship in IR. DDA directs attention away from schools of thought and "heroic figures" who allegedly invented new theories. As we show exemplarily with the rise of "regime theory," there were entire generations of IR scholars who (more or less consciously) developed new vocabularies to frame and address their common concerns. The terminological history of "international regime" starts in nineteenth century international law, in which French authors already used "régime" to describe transnational forms of governance that were more than a treaty but less than an international organization. Only in the 1980s, however, was an explicit definition of "international regime" forged in American IR, which combined textual elements already in use. We submit that such observations can change the way in which we understand, narrate, and teach the discipline of IR. DDA decenters IR theory from its traditional focus on schools and individuals and suggests unlearning established taxonomies of "isms." The introduction of corpus linguistic methods to the study of academic IR can thus provide new epistemological directions for the field.

From the fourteenth century to the twenty-first, the of the passport adds a vital perspective to the understanding of world politics. Rights of Passage explores shifting notions of sovereignty, citizenship, and identity, as well as changing concerns with issues of race, class, gender, and nation. Ranging from such topics as health, war, and migration to the current mood of vigilant surveillance, the book sheds new light on the role of borders in the age of passport has been one of the essential means of identification—and control—of peoples in the international system. Despite predictions that it would soon become an anachronism, it continues to be a central feature of international relations. Mark Salter's narrative of the history globalization
