I argue that Simone de Beauvoir’s only play Les bouches inutiles reveals the centrality of failure in Beauvoir’s feminist account of political freedom. In recent years, political theorists have mobilized failure to capture the diverse ways of being and doing that stand outside of hegemonic models of political life, with some conceiving of failure a...

Ethics as we know it is ill equipped to resist abuse by technology companies, Van Maanen argues in a recent article. Ethics is too malleable, provides too many different theories, and allows for a plethora of ethical guidelines to be created, and ethi-cists purportedly end up enabling ethics shopping and ethics washing. But is ethics really the pro...

This paper seeks to relate a fundamental notion of political theory, "good government", to a hypothetical form of governance: the outcome of a competing process of an indefinite number of good governments.

This paper investigates the escalation dynamics of cyber attacks. Two main theories have been advanced.

Second, “effects-based” theory argues an attack’s material consequences determine the likelihood of retaliation. W...

How should we conceive of policymakers for the purposes of political analysis? In particular, if we wish to explain and predict political decisions and their consequences, if we wish to ensure that political action is as effective as it can be, how should we think of policymakers? Should we think of them as they are commonly conceived in traditiona...

A la fois sur la base épistémologique de la théorie politique et aussi d’un point de vue prophylactique, la critique de Nietzsche du socialisme se révèle être tout à fait instructive.

The article has two aims. First, it provides a view of why the standard liberal-democratic political theory is unfit for the Anthropocene.

In this paper, I engage with Bernard Matolino’s proposal for a new Afro-communitarian democracy as presented in his works “An Outline of the basis of a new Afro-communitarian political theory”, “Afro-Communitarian Democracy” and “Consensus as Democracy in Africa”. In these works, Matolino proposes limited communitarianism, which he believes takes c...

In this article, I show that current literature on authoritarian neoliberalism has not only overlooked the crucial role of legitimation in authoritarian neoliberal regimes, both pre- and post-2008, it has also failed to properly conceptualise it. While existing scholarship mainly pictures neoliberal governments as pursuing legitimation to ensure ac...

This study examines politeness as a nonverbal politic behavior in 29 European countries and territories using Brown and Levinson's (1987) politeness theory.

This article explicates and critiques an understanding of markets that is dominant in much contemporary political theory.

This essay argues that an alternative conception of time to that underlying the ideology of productivism and growth is not only possible, but desirable.

If those who formulate visions of the future are prevented from thinking freely because of a reduced capacity to imagine a different world, then there is a risk that they only advocate limited changes. Some feminist researchers in political theory and philosophy, such as Wendy Brown (2003, 2008, 2015) and Johanna Oksala (2011, 2013), claim that thi...

The university's ideological and political theory education is a great soul project to awaken students’ minds and shape character. The successful ideological and political theory education should not only strictly obey the four “circles” positioning of our Party and our country on the theme of ideology, but also highly accord with the three “spirit...

The internet is a double-edged sword: civilians can mobilise it to assemble and voice dissent, but illiberal regimes can also weaponise it to consolidate power and suppress any form of opposition. Internet shutdowns – intentional disruptions of internet services – represent one method used to limit citizens’ freedom of expression, information, peac...

This introductory chapter explains how the book draws on postcolonial and decoloniality studies to challenge exceptionalist narratives and Eurocentric epistemologies that underly the fields of refugee and forced migration studies.

How should the ‘liberal democratic mainstream’ be fortified (or recovered) so that its members can consolidate to defeat anti-democrats? I argue for a value-pluralistic orientation to liberal democratic politics that accomodates not just the good of conflict (championed by ‘democratic agonists’), but also the good of unity. This approach, I show, a...

Indledning Midt i 1980'erne skete det bemaerkelsesvaerdige, at mange begyndte at interessere sig for religion både på et personligt, politisk og teoretisk plan.

Hans-Georg Gadamer, despite his exchanges with and reception by major figures in the field of political theory, is often thought of as a philosopher as opposed to a political theorist. For instance, the title of one of his essays, "On the Political Incompetence of Philosophy," is sometimes taken to indicate that Gadamer thought of his own philosoph...

In this paper, we set out to show that the relationships between individuals, including the intersubjectivity inherent to the body politic, are also affective relationships, so as to reconstruct Spinoza’s minimalist theory of tolerance.
