International politics of exception: competing visions of international political order between law and politics / Huysmans, Jef   Journal Article
Huysmans, Jef Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2006.
Summary/Abstract Both political leaders and academics often claim exceptional times. But what does it mean to speak of exceptional politics in international relations? In one sense exceptionality is a descriptive category referring to a radical change in the systemic conditions of international politics. In this article a different notion of exception is examined. It refers to a particular method of conceptualizing the nature of international political order. The exception defines political order by means of constitutional-legal reasoning in which different understandings of the nature and status of international law and its political transgressions describe competing visions of international political order. The focal point of this international politics of exception is not the traditional distinction between liberal and realist views of international politics but the constitutionalist triad of normativism, decisionism, and institutionalism.

Liberalism, authoritarianism and the politics of decisionism in / Connors, Michael K   Journal Article
Connors, Michael K Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract By examining different Thai regime forms over the last 30 years this paper attempts to show how an uneasy co-existence between liberal and authoritarian forces has impacted on the exercise of power and regime form. Arguing that the persistence of authoritarian power in the military and the monarchy is central to understanding the nature of Thailand's ambivalent state, it moves to a contemporary analysis of 'decisionist politics'.

Why was the Pandemic Poorly Managed by the Government of India? A State-in-Society Approach / John Harriss   Journal Article
John Harriss Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Administrative “success” or “failure” during the pandemic are hard to assess given uncertainties both of criteria and of data. But there can be no doubt about the mishandling of the pandemic at crucial junctures by the Indian government, or about the culpability of prime minister Narendra Modi himself. He has this in common with other “strongmen” of contemporary world politics, but Modi was unusually successful in turning the events of the pandemic to reinforce his dominance. The immediate political factors that influenced the Indian response had to do with political leadership and with the “decisionism” that characterised Modi’s actions, but in the context of the pursuit of the goals of Hindu nationalism. This article explains the responses of the Indian government drawing on a framework based on the comparative analysis of Baum and her co-authors. It shows how the events of the pandemic reflect on India’s politics and on the character of the Indian state, using a state-in-society approach suggested by the interlocking arguments of Migdal, Mann and Evans. This highlights and explains the very different responses of the major states of the country.
