This Saturday was 3rd 🎂 of my article in International Studies Quarterly presenting an #anarcho-#pacifist reading of #IR (freely available via #openaccess): https://doi.org/10.1093/isq/sqac070
Short thread summary: Paper seeks to articulate overdue #anarchopacifist lens to #IR #theory. Explicitly #critical & #normative. Starts with brief #history of cross-pollination between #anarchism & #pacifism.
2/ Then articulates 5 main an-pac contributions on: #fetishization of #violence; chronic sliding towards systemic #militarism; intersectional state-enforced #exploitation/#domination; structurings of international politics (current & potential); & questions of #politicalagency
Throughout & towards end, positions these ideas against more established schools of #IRtheory, from #justwartheory to #realism, #liberalism, #Marxism, #poststructuralism, #feminism & others.
