Inspired by John Dunn’s essay of the same name, I’ve written a review essay on three recent books, on ‘the future of liberalism’

1. Liberalism Against Itself @samuelmoyn
2. Liberalism as a Way of Life @alex_usyd
3. Regenerative Politics @EmmaPlaninc

excited &nervous to be able to share this news! 📕✨

ANOTHER STATE IS POSSIBLE explores the flawed logic of Green State Capitalism - an approach that ties climate goals to private finance expansion - & how we can redefine what/who the state exists for

[Nanna L. Sæten @NannaLS]

Reading scholarship on the relationship between time and politics against Arendt’s concept of action, I argue that another temporal language, or another conception of agency, is necessary to address climate change politically

[Nanna L. Sæten @NannaLS]

What happens to agency when climate catastrophe is cast as the eschatological end of linear time itself?

I argue that making sense of world-ending climate change through the language of religious eschatology, undermines the space and time for action, in an Arendtian sense.

Thrilled that this is out in RIS with the one-of-a-kind @Juliewilhelmse2! Scholars of #ontosec and #securitisation, behold: This is slow-cooked theorisation on self/other securitisation, ambiguous threat constructions, anxiety, and conflict, looking at #Russian rhetoric on #NATO.
