The recognition of natural entities like rivers, forests, and mountains as subjects of rights is becoming an important trend throughout the world. It is a result of efforts by legal and environmental activists, Indigenous groups, and civil society organizations united under – among others – the Rights of Nature (RoN) movement that contest the binar...
The concept of agency has long been a focal point of research in the social sciences. While traditional discussions primarily centered on human agency, recent scholarship has increasingly turned its attention to agency beyond the human realm. This paper introduces a framework for comprehending the agency of spiritual beings within complex plurivers...
In a globalised world marked by profound crises, the shape of the Christian faith is changing fundamentally. The shift in the dynamics of Christianity towards the global South, increasing conflicts and worldwide migration movements are changing the church(es) and Christianity. Conflicts over recognition, cultural and religious identities and the no...
This article argues that textiling—a particular kind of making that simultaneously constitutes a concept, a metaphor, and a practice—can facilitate a radical rethinking and redoing of the study of world politics. Specifically, we suggest three ways in which textiling, and the relationality it enables, facilitates this innovation: as a different way...
This essay is about water governance and relationality. It reflects on the questions that articulate this forum on relational International Relations (IR): what do relational theories of IR offer to the field and add to the debate about IR? What are the promises or limits of relational approaches, and how can or should discussion proceed? I narrate...
Bringing ontological questions back into IR has been key to opening discussions about plurality and difference in terms of the coexistence of related and plural worlds and realities, for example through notions such as relationality and pluriversality. The problem is that in trying to develop relational approaches as an alternative to the ‘Western/...
Global governance has become part of the international relations vocabulary. As an analytical category and as a political project it is a strong tool that illustrates the major complexities of world politics in contexts of globalization. The study of global governance has expanded and superseded traditional approaches to international relations tha...
Difference, a central concern to the study of international relations (IR), has not had its ontological foundations adequately disrupted. This forum explores how existential assumptions rooted in relational logics provide a significantly distinct set of tools that drive us to re-orient how we perceive, interpret, and engage both similarity and diff...
Relationality has become a popular term for addressing diversity, complexity, interconnectedness, and planetary crisis in many academic fields, including international relations (IR). This article shows that fully embracing relationality calls for a distinct set of tools that are discernable in cosmopraxis, an ontological stance derived from Andean...
This edited volume asks how governmentality and postcolonial approaches can be brought together to help us better understand specific sites and practices of contemporary postcolonial governance. The framework/approach was inspired by the recent use of governmentality approaches that emphasize how governance functions not solely through states but t...
Objetivo/contexto:
El artículo argumenta que, a pesar de que la gobernanza global (GG) es un fenómeno ampliamente analizado y una práctica extendida en la actualidad, se sostiene sobre presunciones ontológicas que no han sido lo suficientemente cuestionadas. Por esa razón, su propósito es ofrecer una comprensión distinta de la GG basada en el plura...
The article problematizes the ontological assumptions under which global governance -as a concept and as a political project- is conceived, and how this institutionalizes and perpetuates the exclusion through covered violences that habilitate certain forms of being in the world. Among them, the process of constructing the Other and the acceptance o...
The lack of ontological pluralism in International Relations has been a strong determinant of the general scope of the discipline and its objects of study, as well as all that is rendered irrelevant to the study of the "international". IR has marginalized difference not only by disciplining epistemologies, but also by rejecting other ontologies, pa...
En este artículo se analiza la inclusión de la indigeneidad en la política exterior de Bolivia, en el gobierno de Evo Morales. Se plantea que la indigeneidad se utiliza en la política exterior, primero, para justificar una actitud revisionista e incluso subversiva, respecto a la posición del país en temas de la agenda internacional y justificar así...

For that purpose the methodology used was a review of academic documents on international Institutional Law in general and international responsibility in particular.

Since the end of World War II multilateralism has been the way through which states have faced threats against peace and international security, enforcing actions according to the Security Council (SC) prescriptions and the United Nations (UN) Charter. Nevertheless the performance of international organizations (IO) in the response to those threats...
