New article by Alex Homolar
Alex Homolar has published a new article in the interdisciplinary journal Media, War & Conflict. ‘Narrating future war: Reimagining enmity during the collapse of bipolarity’ examines how narratives shape what matters in international relations. Focusing on elite debates on future war, the article explores how political agents within the US defence establishment reimagined the international system during the demise of the hegemonic interpretative framework that had shaped the postwar order. It argues that the reconstruction of enmity during the collapse of bipolarity should be understood as an assemblage of existing narrative elements into a new security story. The article concludes that events shape but do not determine how conceptions of what matters in international politics evolve and how future war is (re)imagined.
