‘The First War of the Anthropocene: Ukraine and the Struggle to “Un-Cancel the Future”‘, E-International Relations, 25 September 2023.

The Ukraine war is one of disavowal through which it is hoped the ‘idea’ of modernity, the idea of ‘Europe’, and the idea of ‘values’ can conceal their shabbier reality.

‘Opinion – Political Positionality and the War in the Ukraine’, E-International Relations, 25 March 2022.

It would be nice to pretend that we still lived in a modernist world of meaningful choices, where taking sides was part of a broader grand narrative of struggle and progress.

‘Opinion – Humanitarianism and the Internationalisation of the War in Ukraine’, E-International Relations, 21 March 2022.

The internationalisation of the conflict can be destabilising because there is less pressure to find the compromises necessary for peace agreement.

‘Opinion – War in Ukraine: Why We Should Say No to International Civil Society’, E-International Relations, 16 March 2022.

Totalizing moral binaries are particularly dangerous in the sphere of international relations, where international law lacks universal mechanisms of enforcement.

Republished ‘Opinion – The Myth of Being Anti-Racist and Anti-War in the Ukraine Conflict’, University of Westminster Difference Blog, 10 March 2022.

To refuse the discourses of war and racialization it is necessary to do more than place them in critical relation to those of anti-war and anti-racialization. Instead, we should refuse to distinguish the two.

Philosophy for our Times, Google podcast. ‘Islands and the End of Modernity’, 12 October 2021.

Whether it’s the discussion on rising sea levels or nuclear waste, islands have gravitated to the epicentre of the geopolitical zeitgeist. But why are we more interested in islands than ever before? Professor at the Centre for the Study of Democracy, David Chandler explores the importance of islands in the Anthropocene.

EISA European International Studies Association video, EISA sponsored roundtable on teaching International Relations in the Anthropocene brought together a number of authors to mark the publication of International Relations in the Anthropocene: New Agendas, New Agencies, New Approaches – a major Palgrave MacMillan textbook initiative. Among discussants were David Chandler (University of Westminster), Franziska Muller (University of Hamburg), Anna Leander (Graduate Institute Geneva), Aysem Mert (Stockholm University), Stephanie Wakefield (Florida International University), Harshavardhan Bhat (University of Westminster).

Institute of Art and Ideas video, The Hypocrisy of the Good, Julian Baggini, David Chandler, Ece Temelkuran. Myriam Francois hosts. HowTheLightGetsIn Winter Revel, 20 February 2021.

From fervent socialists to devout Christians, many have sought to live by a strict moral code. Yet from the gulags to the Inquisition it has often been those with the strictest codes who have perpetrated the greatest crimes. Is this just accidental, or is there something about a strict morality that makes hypocrisy unavoidable? Should we see such terrible outcomes as a sign of the frailty of humans rather than a threat to the moral principles themselves? Or is it possible that seeking to rigorously and universally enforce any moral code blinds the adherent to the real life consequences? Should we conclude that while a framework of ‘good’ action is valuable, an attempt to subsume all human behaviour within a strict code of rules is not only impossible, but dangerous? Groundbreaking political activist and journalist Ece Temelkuran, Professor of International Relations at Westminster University David Chandler, and renowned philosopher Julian Baggini debate the importance of morality. Hosted by Myriam Francois.

‘Anthropocene Authoritarianism (Critique in Times of Corona)’, Critical Legal Thinking, 9 April 2020.

There has been much discussion of the biopolitics of the global response to the Coronavirus on Critical Legal Thinking and elsewhere. Many of the pieces have engaged critically with Giorgio Agamben’s interventions, polarising debate.[1] Thus, Karsten Schubert and Panagiotis Sotiris have argued contra Agamben for a ‘democratic biopolitics’ while Tim Christaens has raised the dangers of normalising new draconian powers.[2] This short piece seeks to contribute to this discussion from a slightly different angle, locating contemporary discussion and policy dilemmas in the context of the Anthropocene, understood as an epoch in which Nature or the nonhuman can no longer be easily separated from the Human sphere of governance.[3] This blurring of the biopolitical divide cuts across ‘top-down’ or ‘bottom-up’ readings of Agamben’s distinction between ‘bios’ as a way of life (culture) to be privileged and ‘zoe’ as undifferentiated life (nature) seen as expendable.

‘The Coronavirus: Biopolitics and the Rise of “Anthropocene Authoritarianism”‘, Russia in Global Affairs, 6 April 2020.

If the lesson of the global response to the Coronavirus is that humanity itself is the problem, then Anthropocene Authoritarianism looks set to pose a larger long-term challenge to our ways of life than the virus itself. With politics suspended, societies under lockdown, parliaments closed and States of Emergency in force globally (Runciman, 2020), many commentators have turned to Foucauldian-inspired understandings of biopolitics and population control to analyze contemporary events (Horvat, 2020; Agamben, 2020a; Demetri, 2020; Singh, 2020; Sotiris, 2020). Biopolitics has become a key concept in critical discourses of security governance in the last two decades (Rose, 2007; Esposito, 2008; Dillon, 2015). Deriving from the work of Foucault, at the heart of biopolitical thought is the relationship of politics to life as both the basis of governance and as an object to be secured (Foucault, 2007; 2008). For Foucault, ‘life’ was a way of articulating an ‘outside’ to the human world of politics, an outside that appeared natural but was, in fact, a malleable construct (Lemke, 2011).

‘Coronavirus and the End of Resilience’, E-International Relations, 25 March 2020.

Resilience appears to be the key policy buzzword of our times. International organizations, as diverse as the United Nations and the European Union, have now adopted resilience strategies across various policy areas – highlighted by the UN’s risk and resilience framework for its 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (UN, 2017), the EU Action Plan for Resilience (European Commission, 2013), the European Union Global Strategy (EU, 2016) and other policy documents. This short piece argues that global responses to the Coronavirus appear to demonstrate that policy discourses of resilience may be one (so far, unremarked) casualty of the Coronavirus outbreak. ‘Keeping Calm and Carrying On’ is not an option. Acting normally, not panicking, not overreacting, is seen as dangerous and hubristic (Taleb et al, 2020). Being resilient will make the problems worse. Being resilient will make the virus spread. Better to close, to cancel, to restrict now, rather than to regret later.

2019

‘Mobility in the Anthropocene’, Anthropocene Mobilities, 17 October 2019.

One thing that we are often told about the Anthropocene is that the solutions that were available in the Holocene are no longer feasible (Dryzek, 2015; Rockström, 2016). As can be seen by the contemporary problems the refugee crisis is causing EU elites and attempts by the UN and other international agencies to encourage camps for internal displacement to prevent refugee flows, migration is increasingly less likely to be seen as politically possible or to be encouraged as a form of mitigation or adaptation. The first aspect that highlights what is at stake in the shift from a modernist view of mobility in the Anthropocene is that the separations of spatial territorialisation are no longer considered paramount: ‘there is no outside’, ‘there is no “away”’ (Ghosh, 2016: 26).

‘Rethinking the Anthropocene as Carnivalocene’, Institute for Interdisciplinary Research into the Anthropocene, 18 August 2019.

‘Rethinking the Anthropocene as Carnivalocene’, E-International Relations, 11 April 2019.

Writing in the mid-1960s, Russian literary theorist and philosopher, Mikhail Bakhtin famously understood medieval carnival to reveal the truth of life’s rebelliousness against the authoritarian rule of official culture. Carnival was important to Bakhtin as it expressed an immanent liveliness that exceeded the regulatory controls of church and state and disrupted the binary hierarchies of power, distinguishing the governing and the governed, high culture from the low, and those with power from those without. Carnival was a world of freedom from external constraint: a world of immanent becoming, rather than transcendental laws: ‘Carnival is not a spectacle seen by the people; they live in it… While carnival lasts there is no life outside it. During carnival time life is subject only to its own laws, that is the laws of its own freedom.’ (Bakhtin, 2009: 7)

(with Elke Schwarz, Aaron McKeil, Mitchell Dean and Mark Duffield) ‘Datafying the Globe: Critical Insights into the Global Politics of Big Data Governance’, Essays and Provocations, Big Data and Society, 26 January 2019.

The United Nations considers the development of Big Data analytics to be key to addressing a wide range of problems from sustainable development to disaster risk reduction and conflict management. The Economist magazine argues that Big Data is now the ‘world’s most valuable resource’ – the new oil: transforming the coming era to the same extent as oil drove development in the last century. Although there is no agreed definition of Big Data, it is often framed in terms of a qualitative transformation in the volume, variety and velocity of data with the development of new digital technologies of sensing and computation, thus enabling policy-makers to see ‘reality’ rather than relying on conceptual imaginaries or wishful thinking. Finally, or so we are told, the long history of international policy failure – in areas as diverse as tackling conflict management, sustainable development or global health – could be coming to a close.

‘Resilience and Security’, Sage Video Experts, Politics and International Relations, Sage Knowledge (43 mins) Abstract: Professor David Chandler explains resilience as an increased emphasis on individual agency and interrelationships, as opposed to a focus on societal structures. He expresses concern that this new perspective will put an end to theorizing and trying to make the world a better place. Free access here.

‘Digital Humanitarianism’, Sage Video Shorts, Politics and International Relations, Sage Knowledge (4 mins) Abstract: Prof. David Chandler describes traditional humanitarianism as a problematic aid framework, due to its patronizing, short-term emphasis. Digital humanitarianism, in contrast, provides technological tools to troubled populations, allowing them the independence to find their own culturally appropriate solutions. Free access here.

‘Humanitarian Intervention’, Sage Video Shorts, Politics and International Relations, Sage Knowledge (5 mins) Abstract: Prof. David Chandler defines humanitarian intervention as coercive intervention to protect human rights. In the 1990s, a conflict was seen between state sovereignty and the right to protect, but now a state’s right to sovereignty is seen as hinging on effective protection of its citizens. Intervention has also moved away from high-profile, enabling acts and toward less paternalistic acts. Free access here.

‘Security Community’, Sage Video Shorts, Politics and International Relations, Sage Knowledge (3 mins). Abstract: Professor David Chandler defines a security community as a group of states that share the responsibility of security for all, as in NATO. He goes on to say that this is an outdated concept, because it is predicated on the idea of external threats. Free access here.

‘Disaster Risk Management’, Sage Video Shorts, Politics and International Relations, Sage Knowledge (3 mins). Abstract: Professor David Chandler unpacks the attitudes and beliefs that underlie the disaster risk management perspective. Free access here.

On 4 April 2011, when David Chandler’s essay below was first published in e-IR, French and UN forces intervened in Ivory Coast on behalf of Alassane Ouattara and his forces, eventually deposing President Laurent Gbagbo on 11 April 2011. Humanitarian pretexts were offered for that intervention, but rather perfunctorily, almost as an afterthought to the dominant theme of good governance. Both the material basis and ideology of sovereignty may have withered to the point that imperialists no longer require any moral crusade against it. Today it may be said that sovereignty is an exception, not the norm, ideologically defended by few nations (usually only in defense of themselves), materially exercised by fewer still. — Ed.
