This standing section seeks contributions that engage with agendas of research that gravitate around international political sociology as a site of critical explorations of the ‘problem of the international’. In the past two decades international political sociology has sought to expand critical investigations at the intersection of different disciplinary fields in the social sciences in a move to expand and diversify scholarship in IR. The efforts to continuously push the limits of this intellectual movement has produced a variety of initiatives that have, for the most part, contributed to consolidate its transdisciplinary agenda, connecting scholars and researchers who share a disposition to transgress institutionalized repertoires of analysis and displace questions, methods and styles considered acceptable in the field. Following the exploration of the in-between, the contingent and the multiple in world politics, the section aims at stimulating debate that furthers research programmes focusing on the importance of transversal, boundary traversing phenomena in world politics and on dynamics of fracturing social and political orders.
The section will promote international political sociologies of topics that have populated IPS’ research programme, including migration, securitisation, surveillance, resistance and counter-politics, social movements, citizenship, planetary urbanism and global cities, post-truth, temporalities and histories, technologies of government, and critical methodologies. We will also continue to encourage theoretical work around concepts such as movement, transversality, becoming, critique, practice, atmospheres, affects, assemblages, borders, inequality, and the planetary.
Given the limited panel slots, we might not be able to accept all panels of double panel submissions on the same topic.
