Humiliation in International Relations A Pathology of Contemporary International Systems French Studies in International Law Series
Langue : Anglais
Auteur : BADIE Bertrand
Humiliation is nowadays usual in international relations (IR). Denying
states’ status, and stigmatising their practices or even culture are more
common occurrences in modern diplomacy. After the well known and very
selective European ‘concert of powers’, many kinds of club diplomacy were
– and are still now – substituted to an attempted inclusive
multilateralism. G7, G8, G20, but also P5 and many ‘contact groups’ are
regarded as ruling institutions, which have the power to exclude and
marginalise.
These humiliations are nowadays at the core of the system, revealing its limits, its lack of capacity and also pose a real threat to the power of the international order, which is being eroded by the use of humiliation. They have been generated and fuelled by an historical background, merging a colonial past, a failed decolonisation, a mistaken vision of globalisation and a very perilous post-bipolar reconstruction.
This book does take a social psychology approach, but tries to promote another approach to IR, by investigating the international system from a French sociological tradition, mainly inspired by Emile Durkheim.
