Silences are not only absences in the spoken discourse or gaps in the discursive texture of international politics. They are important nodes of this texture and, as such, they constitute the political too. The said and the unsaid may work together to reify knowledge and shape international politics. Starting from this idea, this article scrutinizes global counter-terrorism as a discursive formation, composed of a spoken and an unspoken sphere. Within the silent dimension, the work focuses specifically on the silences in far-right terrorism and extremism. Scrutinizing global counter-terrorism as a racialized formation, the article argues that these silences are produced and reproduced by whiteness. Within the international community's debates, whiteness gives rise to two kinds of silence – silence as the unspoken and the spoken as silencing. Examining them through the prism of whiteness, the article shows that these silences allow the maintenance of white privilege. This is the privilege of not being identified as a terrorist Other and not becoming the object of counter-terrorism measures, while having this privilege silenced and hidden. This work thus shows that, as gears of discursive formations, silences are racialized and may have colors – in this case, the color of white privilege.

In this work, we present an overview of the historical development of socially responsible investing (SRI). We will argue that such a financial activity has been boosting in recent decades from a niche, mainly as a religious-led exclusionary practice, towards a mainstream strategy of risk analysis for institutional and retail investors. We also discuss the advances and possible drawbacks that regulatory activity and harmonization process on such industry have achieved at international level in recent years, with a special focus on the European Union. The study shows that the lack of a globally accepted taxonomy on what constitutes sustainable activities, of regulatory clarity and of high-quality data allowing for comparisons across industries and regions, together with practical and behavioural complexities are major critical issues that discourage SRI industry at the global level.

Este artículo presenta un acercamiento teórico-discursivo al terrorismo internacional, y vincula las relaciones de poder hegemónicas que constituyen el orden internacional con la formación de los discursos globales sobre terrorismo internacional. Al entender el terrorismo internacional como una construcción discursiva, el documento analiza lo que supone etiquetar un determinado tipo de violencia como "terrorismo", y la consecuente despolitización y securitización de esta violencia. Basándonos en estas reflexiones teóricas, se argumenta que el proceso de construcción discursiva de un determinado tipo de violencia política como terrorismo internacional estandarizado a nivel global depende de las relaciones de poder que constituyen la comunidad internacional, su identidad y su legitimidad; la razón de Estado, la razón de sistema y la razón de civilización. Al partir de este plantea - miento teórico, se propone que las formaciones histórico-discursivas globales sobre terrorismo internacional se han construido alrededor de un tipo de violencia política que representaba un desafío ideológico a estas relaciones de poder, su universalidad y su legitimidad. Finalmente, se presenta una genealogía de las formaciones discursivas estandarizadas que emergieron internacionalmente en la historia contemporánea y se deconstruyen estas formaciones a través del planteamiento teórico propuesto.

The article presents a theoretical and discursive understanding of international terrorism and links the hegemonic power relations constituting the international order with the formation of global discourses on international terrorism. Starting from the understanding of international terrorism as a discursive construction, it analyses theoretically the implication of labelling a specific kind of violence as "terrorism" and the resulting depoliticization and securitization. Grounded in these theoretical reflections, it is argued here that the discursive construction of a specific kind of violence such as international terrorism at a global standardised level depends on the power relations that constitute the international community, its identity and its legitimacy – i.e., the reason of state, the reason of the system and the reason of civilisation. The main thesis is that, from this theoretical perspective, the historical discursive formations of international terrorism centred on a specific kind of violence representing an ideological threat to these power relations, their universality and legitimacy. The article presents a genealogy of these standardised discursive formations which emerged at an international level in contemporary history and it deconstructs these formations through the theoretical approach presented here. ; Este artículo presenta un acercamiento teórico-discursivo al terrorismo internacional, y vincula las relaciones de poder hegemónicas que constituyen el orden internacional con la formación de los discursos globales sobre terrorismo internacional.
