Construction of self/other also operates internally »
Construction of self/other also operates internally
Construction of self/other also operates internallyâPost-structuralism highlights how construction of self and other also operates internally in terms of defining and expelling what is alien, foreign, dangerous (US Muslims post-9/11, 1960s McCarthyism)âFFB597
●
Critical of IR focus on states, state behaviour, anarchy, sovereignty »
Critical of IR focus on states, state behaviour, anarchy, sovereignty
Critical of IR focus on states, state behaviour, anarchy, sovereigntyâPost-structuralism challenges how states have been constructed historically and conceptually in our politics, in particular the naturalisation of anarchy and sovereignty in how we think about international politics.âFFB597
●
Focus on dichotomous identities that value on over the other »
Focus on dichotomous identities that value on over the other
Focus on dichotomous identities that value on over the otherâIt is concerned in particular with how identities of women/men, western/eastern, civilised/uncivilised, developed/underdeveloped, domestic/foreign, rational/irrational have been constituted over time and place; what is normalised & excluded & made exceptional and pathological in these identities. âFFB597
●
Foreign policies constitute the identity of the self »
Foreign policies constitute the identity of the self
Foreign policies constitute the identity of the self âIPS scholars argue that foreign policies constitute the identity of the self, the state, through the construction of threats, dangers and challenges and âothersâ. How we represent others affects how we understand ourselves. âFFB597
●
Foreign policy actions = in part about reproducing who we think we are »
Foreign policy actions = in part about reproducing who we think we are
Foreign policy actions = in part about reproducing who we think we areâNational identity and foreign policy are constitutive of one anotherâFFB597

No 'fundamental essences' to actors, entities assumed as given »
No 'fundamental essences' to actors, entities assumed as given
No 'fundamental essences' to actors, entities assumed as givenâPost-structuralism says the actors, entities, and things we assume are given, and natural in international politics actually depend on how we construct them in our discourses, in particular core political categories like âhumansâ, âstatesâ, âcivilisationâ. There are no fundamental essences.âFFB597
●
Understanding the world depends on exclusion of identities/histories »
Understanding the world depends on exclusion of identities/histories
Understanding the world depends on exclusion of identities/historiesâInclusions and exclusions give meaning to our identity: how we understand the world, its events, problems, actors and so on, depend on the marginalisation and exclusion of other identities and histories. They do not exist outside these self-other constructions.âFFB597

Violence: via material & Ideational construction of boundaries »
Violence: via material & Ideational construction of boundaries
Violence: via material & Ideational construction of boundariesâViolence is also at work: states rely on violence to constitute themselves as states and impose these boundaries (material and ideational) of the internal and external that make-up our identitiesâFFB597
