@georgelawson.bsky.social reflecting on 75 years of IR/area studies at the ANU. This intro to the special issue is a compelling set of reflections on Aussie IR from a UK expat. Main takeaway: the ANU is still a cracking place to do IR, and the future of IR, at the ANU at least, is in good hands. 🙌🏻

🚨Troath and Ainley address "ethical contestations and power shifts taking place in global politics," and imagine just political futures in their contribution to 'Toward a different IR'. #openaccess #InternationalRelations #AcademicPublishing www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

ABSTRACT
"The ethics panel held for the ANU IR Department’s 75th birthday
asked panellists to respond to the theme of resistance, power,
and the new global ethical order. Vasuki Nesiah, Lana Tatour,
James Blackwell, George Carter and Bina D’Costa painted a rich
picture of the very political nature of ethics and the contests for
ethical leadership currently energising global politics, as well as
our responsibilities as academics. Inspired by their comments, this
article draws out the themes common across their presentations.
First, we focus on the political, practical, and material nature of
ethics, and the current ethical contestations and power shifts
taking place in global politics. Second, we turn to the need to
generate new ways of imagining just political futures and
contesting existing hierarchies. Finally, we focus on the ways to
tackle these challenges through going local, engaging with
communities, and building solidarity". Keywords: Ethics; international order; Palestine; Indigenous rights; climate

Or ‘restoration revolution’? The term goes back to Gramsci and has been repurposed recently (including by me). I think it works quite well to refer to the actions, tactics and ideologies of some militant Salafists
