The Power of Human Rights/The Human Rights of Power (Paperback): Louiza Odysseos, Anna Selmeczi The Power of Human Rights/The Human Rights of Power (Paperback)
Louiza Odysseos, Anna Selmeczi
R1,412 Discovery Miles 14 120 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The contributions to this volume eschew the long-held approach of either dismissing human rights as politically compromised or glorifying them as a priori progressive in enabling resistance. Drawing on plural social theoretic and philosophical literatures - and a multiplicity of empirical domains - they illuminate the multi-layered and intricate relationship of human rights and power. They highlight human rights' incitement of new subjects and modes of political action, marked by an often unnoticed duality and indeterminacy. Epistemologically distancing themselves from purely deductive, theory-driven approaches, the contributors explore these linkages through historically specific rights struggles. This, in turn, substantiates the commitment to avoid reifying the 'Third World' as merely the terrain of 'fieldwork', proposing it, instead, as a legitimate and necessary site of theorising. This book was originally published as a special issue of Third World Quarterly.

The International Political Thought of Carl Schmitt - Terror, Liberal War and the Crisis of Global Order (Paperback): Louiza... The International Political Thought of Carl Schmitt - Terror, Liberal War and the Crisis of Global Order (Paperback)
Louiza Odysseos, Fabio Petito
R1,417 Discovery Miles 14 170 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Presenting the first critical analysis of Carl Schmitt's The Nomos of the Earth and how it relates to the epochal changes in the international system that have risen from the collapse of the Westphalian international order.

There is an emerging recognition in political theory circles that core issues, such as order, social justice, rights, need to be studied in their global context. Schmitt s international political thought provides a stepping stone in these related paths, offering an alternative history of international relations, of the genesis, achievements and demise of the Westphalian system. Writing at a time when he believed that the spatial, political and legal order the nomos of the earth had collapsed, he highlighted the advent of the modern state as the vehicle of secularization, tracing how this interstate order was able to limit and rationalize and humanize war. Providing a large number of case studies including: global terrorism, humanitarian intervention and US hegemony, this book will give further impetus to, and expand, the nascent debate on the significance of Schmitt s legal and political thought for international politics.

The International Political Thought of Carl Schmitt will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations, law and history.

Gendering the International (Hardcover): Hakan Seckinelgin, Louiza Odysseos Gendering the International (Hardcover)
Hakan Seckinelgin, Louiza Odysseos
R1,553 Discovery Miles 15 530 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In Gendering the 'International', the contributors explore the different ways of analyzing gender in international studies beyond the state-centric perspective of International Relations (IR). They demonstrate that it is possible to think about 'the international' beyond the traditional framework of IR. They contend IR is a set of gendered practices, by critically examining ways in which gender discourses are deployed in the analyses of 'the international'. Furthermore, they reflect on the interactions between gender and globalizing forces in a post-colonial environment.

The Subject of Coexistence - Otherness in International Relations (Paperback, 3rd Ed.): Louiza Odysseos The Subject of Coexistence - Otherness in International Relations (Paperback, 3rd Ed.)
Louiza Odysseos
R644 Discovery Miles 6 440 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In this pioneering book, Louiza Odysseos argues that debates about ethnic conflict, human rights, and the viability of multicultural communities all revolve around the question of coexistence. Yet, issues of coexistence have not been adequately addressed by international relations. Instead of being regarded as a question, "coexistence" is a term whose meaning is considered self-evident.
"The Subject of Coexistence" traces the institutional neglect of coexistence to the ontological commitments of international relations as a modern social science predicated on conceptions of modern subjectivity. This reliance leads to the assumption that coexistence means little more than the social and political copresence of individuals, a premise that occludes the roles of otherness in the constitution of the self. Countering this reliance necessitates the examination of how existence itself is coexistential from the start.
Odysseos opens up the possibility of a coexistential ontology, drawing on Martin Heidegger and his interlocutors, in which selfhood can be rethought beyond subjectivism, reinstating coexistence as a question for global politics--away from the restrictive discursive parameters of the modern subject.
Louiza Odysseos is senior lecturer in international relations at the University of Sussex.

Heidegger and the Global Age (Paperback): Antonio Cerella, Louiza Odysseos Heidegger and the Global Age (Paperback)
Antonio Cerella, Louiza Odysseos
R1,752 Discovery Miles 17 520 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Globalization is one of the most contested and (ab)used concepts of our time. Whether one interprets it as a 'collective illusion' or as the final stage of capitalism, as 'uncontrollable multitude' or as a radical opening of new spaces of freedom, the 'global age' represents the conceptual and existential background of our being-in-the-world. But what lies behind this process? What mode of human existence is brought about by the age of technology and 'global mobilization'? And is it possible to attempt a unitary interpretation of this age that presents itself as both total and pluralistic? This volume rethinks these epochal questions in light of Martin Heidegger's complex hermeneutics, proposing at the same time that such questions enable the interrogation of some of its most fundamental aspects: the metanarrative of Seinsgeschichte as withdrawal of Being; the structure of human existence within the frame of technology; the relation between humanism and nihilism, as well as politics and technology; the changing character of subjectivity in the 'age of the world picture'; the mythopoeic force of art and the uprooting of human beings. As this volume shows, interrogating Heidegger's thought has significant potential for both International Political Theory and also the analysis of specific concepts and dynamics in contemporary international studies, such as the changing character of spatiality, temporality, and subjectivity
