Those Who "Witness the Evil"

HYPATIA, Issue 1 2003
SHERENE RAZACK
For the better part of the last decade, Canadian peacekeepers have been encouraged to frame their activities in Somalia, Rwanda, Bosnia, Kosovo and Croatia as encounters with "absolute evil." Peacekeeping is seen as a moral project in which the North civilizes the South. Using the Canadian peacekeeping context, I reflect on President Bush's use of the phrase "axis of evil" in the New World Order. 1 argue that this phrase reveals an epistemology structured by notions of the civilized (White) North and the barbaric (Racialized) South. These racial underpinnings give the concept of an "axis of evil" its currency in countries of the North. [source]

Commentary: Martians and Venutians in the new world order

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS, Issue 3 2003
Michael Cox
One of the most significant results of 9/11 has been to provoke the most serious crisis in the transatlantic relationship,the subject of Robert Kagan's influential and provocative treatise. Lauded by some as one of the more important contributions to the study of world politics in recent years and attacked by others as possibly the most misguided analysis of European,American relations ever, Kagan sets forth in stark, realist terms why the rift is serious, long-term and unlikely to be overcome by neat diplomatic footwork. However, as this commentary seeks to show, if Kagan is right there is little chance of constructing anything like a ,new world order'. Moreover, if the clash continues, far from enhancing American power in the world, it is more likely to weaken it. [source]


Critical Pedagogy for the Present Moment: Learning from the Avant-Garde to Teach Globalization from Experiences

INTERNATIONAL STUDIES PERSPECTIVES, Issue 3 2003
André C. Drainville
Closer to us in what it integrates and in its consequences, global politics still gets conceptualized as if it belonged to a realm of its own, disembedded and abstracted beyond quotidian experiences of power. Still folded in a supernatural world that cannot be of their making, as far from experience as their cold war predecessors were, international studies (IS) students are as alienated and find it as hard to work with critical imagination. To teach students to be more than mere technicians of whatever new world order may be born of present circumstances, we have to unmake the political separation that still exists between the study and teaching of global politics and everyday life in the world economy. This article presents a record of a decade-long teaching experiment conducted in the department of political science at Laval University in Québec City. Borrowing techniques and inspiration from the "historical avant-garde," I have worked to reinvent my pedagogical practice to create "situations" in which students can be full, unalienated subjects in the learning process.

Historical and theoretical perspectives in language policy and planning

JOURNAL OF SOCIOLINGUISTICS, Issue 2 2000
Thomas Ricento
This paper explores the evolution of language policy and planning (LPP) as an area of research from the end of World War II to the present day. Based on analysis of the LPP literature, three types of factors are identified as having been instrumental in shaping the field. These factors , macro sociopolitical, epistemological, and strategic , individually and interactively have influenced the kinds of questions asked, methodologies adopted, and goals aspired to in LPP research. Research in LPP is divided into three historical phases: (1) decolonization, structuralism, and pragmatism; (2) the failure of modernization, critical sociolinguistics, and access; and (3) the new world order, postmodernism, and linguistic human rights. The article concludes with a discussion of current research trends and areas requiring further investigation. [source]


Female and National Self-Determination: A Gender Re-reading of ,The Apogee of Nationalism'

NATIONS AND NATIONALISM, Issue 4 2000
Glenda Sluga
This article offers a gender re-reading of the international history of the post-First World War peace process, a period when nationalism is said to have reached its ,apogee', when national self-determination and mutual cooperation between nations in the form of a League of Nations defined liberal aspirations for a democratic new world order. It was also a period when international women's organisations emphasised female self-determination as both a national and international issue. Juxtaposed, these two aspects of the history of the peace of 1919 shed light on the importance of sex difference to the idea of national self-determination and to the overlapping constitution of the national and the international as spheres of political agency and influence in the early twentieth century.

The New World Order in Theory and Practice: The Bush Administration's Worldview in Transition

PRESIDENTIAL STUDIES QUARTERLY, Issue 1 2001
ERIC A. MILLER
The twentieth century saw several major postwar efforts to create conditions conducive to the development of a new world order. This article focuses on the period of the end of the cold war, particularly the Persian Gulf crisis (1990-1991). The authors analyze how the concept of the new world order evolved during this period and argue that the Bush administration consciously sought to create a framework for a new world order during the Gulf crisis. This framework was based on checking the offensive use of force, promoting collective security, and using great power cooperation. [source]
