This book develops a concept of vulnerability in International
Relations that allows for a profound rethinking of a core concept
of international politics: means-ends rationality. It explores
traditions that proffer a more complex and relational account of
vulnerability.
International Relations scholarship has typically engaged with
vulnerability as a problem to be solved through 'rational' attempts
to craft a global order marked by universality, predictability and
stability. By recovering an awareness of the persistently
vulnerable human subject, this book argues that we can re-engage
with issues of emotion, relationality, community and history that
are often excluded from the study of global politics. This
collection proposes an agonistic approach to international ethics
and politics, eschewing a rationalism that radically privileges
white Western conceptions of the world and that actively oppresses
alternative voices. The Vulnerable Subject addresses issues such as
trust, judgement, climate change, identity, and post-colonial
relations, allowing for a profound rethinking of one of the core
driving assumptions at the heart of international politics.
