Jacobsen C.G. Focus On: Myths, Politics and the Not-So-New World Order
Eurasian Security Studies, Department of Political Science
Joual of Peace and Research, vol 30, no 3. 1993, p. 241-250

The New World Order threatens to degenerate into something
drearily familiar. It now looks just as prone to self-serving and
manipulated myth-preservation and myth-making, tribal ethnocentrism
and the politics of fear and exclusion as were older world orders.
If we cannot transcend the distorting bounds of our particular group
or national’ cultures, then visions of a more just and less conflict-prone
order will remain a mirage.

Cambridge University Press, 2009. - 254 pages. Territorial disputes have defined modern politics, but political theorists and philosophers have said little about how to resolve such disputes fairly. Is it even possible to do so? If historical attachments or divine promises are decisive, it may not be. More significant than these largely subjective claims are the ways in which people interact with land over time. Building from this insight, Avery...

This paper suggests that economic inequality is important to explaining civil conflict, but that the links are not as direct as is often supposed. It is important to focus on the variety of ways in which inequalities are managed by societies, and the significance of varying kinds of inequality. It is also important to understand the transmission mechanisms that enable a relatively peaceable durable inequality to turn into a violent conflict. Thes...

World Politics, Volume 58, Number 2, January 2006, pp. 276-310 (Article) In the early 1990s Russia stood at the precipice of state failure. Demands for autonomy radiated from Russia’s ethnic republics, threatening to split the federation along ethnic lines as had happened to the Soviet Union before it. Russia’s republics had begun appropriating power from Moscow during the late Soviet era. With the collapse of the USSR, several accelerated their...

The recent accounts of the new war paradigm have been thoroughly scrutinized in a variety of disciplines from security studies and international relations to political economy. The general trend is to focus on the scope, methods, tactics, strategies, forms of war, and ? or the level of atrocity. However, there has been little sustained attempt to assess structural causes and the arguments about the changing aims of contemporary warfare. This pape...

O n e of the challenges facing the international community in the post-Cold War era is the increasingly pervasive problem of civil conflict.' Indeed, all of the thirty major armed conflicts fought in the world in 1995 were intrastate wars.'

Can it be discovered if only we apply our understanding of rationality more creatively? This article seeks to answer these questions by focusing on the nationalism of resistance. It argues that a focus on dignity, self-respect, and recognition, rather than a straightforward notion of self-i...
