war of the whales post Sovereign science and agonistic cosmopolitics in japanese global whaling assemblages
Science Technology & Human Values, 2011Co-Authors: Anders BlokAbstract:This article examines some of the difficulties of universalistic science in situations of deep conflict over global nature, using empirical material pertaining to ongoing controversies in the context of Japanese whaling practices. Within global-scale whaling assemblages since the 1970s, science has become a ‘‘post-Sovereign’’ Authority, unable to impose any stable definition of nature on all actors. Instead, across spaces of deep antagonistic differences, anti- and pro-whalers now ontologically enact a multiplicity of mutually irreconcilable versions of whales. Empirically, the article attempts to map out a ‘‘cosmogram’’ of Japanese pro-whaling enactments of abundant and ‘‘killable’’ whales. Following the political ecology of Bruno Latour, the global-scale situation is conceptualized as one of cosmopolitics, the politics of forging a common world across divergences in nature-cultures. Pointing to tensions inherent in this concept, the article ends by suggesting a move toward ‘‘agonistic cosmopolitics,’’ i...

no way out desecuritization emancipation and the eternal return of the political a reply to aradau
Journal of International Relations and Development, 2006Co-Authors: Andreas BehnkeAbstract:Claudia Aradau addresses important issues within the securitization approach of the Copenhagen School. Discussions of security, securitization and desecuritization always involve implicit or explicit stances on political preferences. Unsatisfied with both desecuritization and the identification of security with emancipation, she goes on to develop an alternative take on the problem. De-coupling emancipation from security, Aradau tries to locate emancipation as the counter-strategy to securitization in a realm beyond and outside the reach of exceptional politics, Sovereign Authority and exclusionary moves. What Aradau underestimates is the central, indeed constitutive, role that security plays in the ontotheology of politics.

the leahy smith america invents act a new paradigm for international harmonisation
Singapore Academy of Law Journal, 2013Co-Authors: Rochelle Cooper DreyfussAbstract:The Leahy-Smith America Invents Act makes significant changes in US patent law. Among other things, it moves the United States closer to a first-to-file system. As such, the Act adopts a new mechanism for international harmonisation: through convergence rather than through top-down imposition of international obligations. This system has much to recommend it. It preserves Sovereign Authority and democratic values. Further, it gives states an opportunity to experiment with responses to new technologies and to organisational changes in the patent industries. After describing the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act AIA and the advantages of convergence, this article, which was published in a special issue of the Singapore Academy of Law Journal, discusses institutional developments that can facilitate this mode of harmonisation.

The Leahy-Smith America invents act: A new paradigm for international harmonisation?

The ICC Versus National Sovereignty: Analyzing ICC’s Performance as a Legal and Political Institution
A Brief History of International Criminal Law and International Criminal Court, 2017Co-Authors: Cenap CakmakAbstract:One of the most debated issues concerning the International Criminal Court (ICC) is that whether it constitutes a major threat to the international system that is based on the principle of national Sovereignty. Relevant to this is also that whether the Court will be able to succeed to implement its mandate, given that states would strongly seek to retain their Sovereign Authority. Therefore, as one observer puts it clearly, “perhaps the central issue facing the ICC is its effect on Sovereignty.”

Globalization and the Boundaries of the State: A Framework for Analyzing the Changing Practice of Sovereignty
Governance, 2001Co-Authors: Edward S. CohenAbstract:The impact of globalization on the Sovereignty of the modern state has been a source of great controversy among political scientists. In this article, I offer a framework for understanding the state as a boundary-setting institution, which changes shape and role over time and place. I argue that, rather than undermining the state, globalization is a product of a rearrangement of the purposes, boundaries, and Sovereign Authority of the state. Focusing on the United States, the article traces the changing shape of state Sovereignty through a study of the patterns of immigration policy and politics over the past three decades. Immigration policy, I argue, provides a unique insight into the continuities and changes in the role of the state in an era of globalization.
