Globalisation, Security and International Order After 11 September

Globalisation, Security and International Order After 11 September This article advances the discussion of the contentious question of links between global inequalities of power and violent responses, focussing on globalisation and non‐inclusive forms of governance. Drawing on international political economy, the article criticises the “nationstate‐centrism” in much political discourse, suggesting that both authority and security need to be reconsidered — to account for less plausible national borders and controls. It suggests that “human security” (including issues of development and equality) ought to replace “national security” as the primary focus of public policy. It draws attention to the intractability of difference, insisting that the terrorism of 2001 has complex transnational antecedents. Realist approaches to international order have become part of a problem to be overcome through further intellectual debate. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Australian Journal of Politics and History Wiley

Abstract

This article advances the discussion of the contentious question of links between global inequalities of power and violent responses, focussing on globalisation and non‐inclusive forms of governance. Drawing on international political economy, the article criticises the “nationstate‐centrism” in much political discourse, suggesting that both authority and security need to be reconsidered — to account for less plausible national borders and controls. It suggests that “human security” (including issues of development and equality) ought to replace “national security” as the primary focus of public policy. It draws attention to the intractability of difference, insisting that the terrorism of 2001 has complex transnational antecedents. Realist approaches to international order have become part of a problem to be overcome through further intellectual debate.
