Overview

International Relations scholars have traditionally expressed little direct interest in addressing time and temporality. Yet, assumptions about temporality are at the core of many theories of world politics and time is a crucial component of the human condition and our social reality. Today, a small but emerging strand of literature has emerged to meet questions concerning time and temporality and its relationship to International Relations head on. This volume provides a platform to continue this work. The chapters in this book address subjects such as identity, terrorism, war, gender relations, global ethics and governance in order to demonstrate how focusing on the temporal aspects of such phenomena can enhance our understanding of the world. Contributors: Andrew Hom, Christopher McIntosh, Liam Stockdale, Alasdair McKay, Shahzad Bashir, Kevin K. Birth, Valerie Bryson, Kathryn Marie Fisher, Robert Hassan, Caroline Holmqvist, Kimberly Hutchings, Tim Luecke, Tom Lundborg, Tim Stevens and Ty Solomon.

He is the author of the book Taming an Uncertain Future: Temporality, Sovereignty, and the Politics of Anticipatory Governance (Rowman & Littlefield, 2016), and has previously published on the relationship between time and globalisation, and the global politics of sport. Christopher McIntosh is a currently a Visiting Assistant Professor of Political Studies at Bard College. He has broad research interests in international relations theory and security studies, including: time/temporality in IR theory and practice; the relationship between the concepts of war and sovereignty and the implications this has for the contemporary practice of political violence; U.S. strategy in the war on terror; and the likelihood of nuclear terrorism. His work has been published in International Theory, Studies in Conflict and Terrorism and Orbis. He is currently working on a book project on how the concept of time informs IR scholarship.
