Dread in the Homeland: Symbolic Politics and Ethnonationalist Struggles for Self‐Determination in Nigeria

ABSTRACTThe revival of Biafran separatism in contemporary Nigeria is often explained with three leading theoretical frameworks: relative deprivation, political economy and state repression. Whereas relative deprivation and political economy perspectives posit that the resurgent separatism derives from the perception and empirical reality of socioeconomic deprivation amongst Igbos, the state repression perspective maintains that the state's repression of dissent is linked to the resuscitation of separatist agitations in the southeast region. Although these three frameworks elucidate varied facets of revived separatist tensions in the southeast region, they provide only partial explanations that do not connect the dots amongst symbolic predispositions, leaders' framing, public perception and separatist mobilisation. Drawing on symbolic politics theory advanced by Stuart Kaufman and focusing on the transnational Indigenous People of Biafra, I contend that the resurgent separatism in the southeast region is now driven by ethnic narratives of group annihilation that the separatist group instrumentalises to engender mobilisation against the state. For members of the Indigenous People of Biafra—the largest Biafran separatist movement in Nigeria—who instrumentalise hostile ethnic narratives in their separatist discourses, ethnic Igbos are a people under threat of extinction in a state run by other ethnic and religious groups that purportedly intend to dominate and eliminate Igbos—which necessitates the restoration of the defunct secessionist Biafran state to safeguard against such ethnic elimination. This novel perspective contributes to the existing literature on the reemergence of separatism in contemporary Nigeria.

A democracy – if we can keep it: citizenship for nonliberals and terrorists?

ABSTRACT Who may enjoy citizenship and hence exercise political rights? Patti Lenard’s Democracy and Exclusion (2023) draws on systematic normative political theory to identify better policies with nuanced, reasoned trade-offs. She argues that democracies currently exclude too many individuals from both territory and citizenship. The present reflections explore two tensions between Lenard’s inclusive policies and the value of maintaining a national culture: How anti-egalitarian and anti-liberal may a candidate for citizenship be, as evidenced by a ‘citizenship knowledge test’? And may a state never revoke citizenship, not even to known dual-national terrorists? Critics may worry that Lenards’ policies give undue priority to inclusion over legitimate concerns to protect a population and the majority’s culture from threats. The topics merit closer attention by Lenard and us fellow travelers, about the rationales and room for liberal cultural nationalism, a ‘shared public culture,’ and calls to avoid ‘implicit’ discrimination.

Listen up! In defence of a robust right to petition

Rights to petition occupy an unusual position in political theory. Legally speaking, few political rights are as long-established or ubiquitous. Yet, philosophers have rarely, if ever, engaged in a sustained analysis of their contents or justification. On the rare occasions when such rights have been discussed, they are also often treated with a degree of quietism, if not outright scepticism. If there is a right to petition, so the thinking goes, then it must be a relatively minimal right, which is to say, one that secures for its holder no more than that to which they are already entitled under, say, their right to free speech. In this article, I reject this view. Instead, I argue that, unlike rights to free speech, citizens’ rights to petition secure a duty on public officials to engage in a certain decision-making process with regards to petitioners’ petitions. In short: they have a duty to listen. In this way, I claim citizens enjoy a far more ‘robust’ right to petition than many polities currently recognise.

Global Queer Agonism: Normative Theory of the European Union in Times of Dissensus Over LGBT Equality

AbstractIn times of heightened dissensus over the liberal democratic order, normative theories of the EU need to adapt to be able to capture how the promotion and enforcement of values go hand in hand with their contestation. Research on global LGBT politics has shown that the promotion and enforcement of LGBT equality make possible and shape the anti‐LGBT dissent it seeks to combat. Understood as a paradox of sexual integration, this article introduces a normative approach called Global Queer Agonism that utilises agonistic political theory and queer theory in assessments of the legitimacy of the EU's efforts to promote and enforce LGBT equality. Structured by two agonistic concepts, consensus and remainders, and supplemented by the theories of homonationalism, homocolonialism, homocapitalism and the concept of homonormativity, Global Queer Agonism puts into practice a theoretical allyship between agonism and queer theory in the normative assessment of the EU's global role.

The public policy implementation quagmire in Namibia: Contemporary impediments and solutions

Namibia has long been praised for its excellent public policies. However, these public policies are diminished in value by implementation impediments that hinder achieving goals like service delivery and development. This presents a public policy implementation quagmire. However, it remains unclear which impediments currently thwart public policy implementation in Namibia. Research has yet to systematically investigate, consolidate, and produce a contemporary analysis of these impediments and solutions. This is important due to evolving challenges from globalization and population growth. Therefore, this study provides a contemporary analysis of key public policy implementation impediments and solutions in Namibia. The study follows a qualitative methodology, using secondary data and theoretical frameworks (Top-Down and Bottom-Up models, institutional and political economy theories, administrative capacity, and participatory governance), applied through deduction and interpretivism. Data analysis included data familiarization, coding, theme identification, and interpretation. The study found that implementation impediments stem from political, institutional, economic, and social factors. Issues such as inconsistent political will, limited institutional capacity, poor resource distribution, and lack of community involvement contribute to the implementation gap. The study proposes reinforcing institutions, improving intergovernmental collaboration, ensuring political dedication, and promoting public participation to strengthen policy implementation, advance sustainable developmental goals, and foster inclusive growth.

How should we do political theory? Reading Rawls on method

ABSTRACT Consider a seemingly fruitful ordering of our intellectual labours: think in ideal terms about justice and legitimacy, then bring our ideas and arguments to bear upon messy (and very much nonideal) real-world complications. This ordering is most often associated with John Rawls, but this was not his actual practice. That is no vice: Rawls took wide reflective equilibrium seriously as a philosophical method, moving back and forth from ideal to nonideal considerations in ways that belie the usefulness of any priority claims. We do not gain much insight by asserting the priority of either ideal or nonideal theorizing. Indeed, we could stop using those terms altogether, and theory might be none the worse, if we embrace something like Rawls’ constructivist method. Normative political theory should, then, reject certain methodological conceits lurking in some of the philosophical work we otherwise embrace.

Islamic Constitutionalism Values: A Study of al-Muqaddimah fi Intizam Waza'if al Malik, Tsamarat al Muhimmah Diyafah Li al Umara Wa al Kubara' Ahl Hakim and Gurindam Dua Belas Raja Ali Haji

This study explores the values of Islamic constitutionalism as reflected in three significant texts: al-Muqaddimah fi Intizam Waza’if al-Malik, Tsamarat al-Muhimmah Diyafah Li al-Umara wa al-Kubara' Ahl Hakim, and Gurindam Dua Belas by Raja Ali Haji. These works, originating from diverse socio-cultural contexts, represent a continuum of Islamic political thought that emphasizes justice (‘adl), consultation (shūrā), accountability (mas’ūliyyah), and the ethical limitations of political authority. The study aims to examine how these texts articulate principles of governance consistent with Islamic constitutional ideals and how such principles remain relevant to contemporary constitutional discourse. Using a qualitative-descriptive method, this research analyzes the textual content of each work through the lens of Islamic political ethics and compares their constitutional implications. Findings show that each text, despite its distinct genre and historical setting, upholds a model of leadership that is morally bound, consultative, and justice-oriented. al-Muqaddimah offers a structured political theory rooted in classical Islamic governance, Tsamarat al-Muhimmah emphasizes the moral character and restraint of leaders, while Gurindam Dua Belas integrates Islamic and Malay ethical-political teachings through literary expression. The study concludes that these texts provide a foundational framework for understanding Islamic constitutionalism beyond legal formalism, focusing on the moral obligations of rulers and the collective rights of society. This research contributes to the discourse on Islamic constitutional theory by highlighting the ethical and cultural dimensions of Islamic governance embedded in classical and local intellectual traditions.

POLICE THEORY AND HISTORY

The theory and practice of modern policing emerge from the development of the national state and its philosophical foundations, especially from modern contractualist thinking. The objective is to understand the historical construction of the police function in the context of the modern state, its dilemmas between security and freedom, and its evolution as an instrument of social control and urban organization. At the institutional level, the construction of the police occurred differently in France, England, Portugal, and, later, in Brazil. Traditionally, studies on the history of the Brazilian police have emphasized Rio de Janeiro as a center of institutional models, generating what has been conventionally called “bandeirantismo”. This article seeks to reevaluate this historiographical approach by highlighting the formation of the General Intendancy of the Police of São Paulo, proposing the concept of “police bandeirantismo” as an interpretative key to understanding the local specificities of the police organization in the province of São Paulo. The main objective is to analyze the police function in the context of the modern state and its dilemmas between guaranteeing security and preserving civil liberties. The research adopts a qualitative approach, of a historical-interpretative nature, based on a bibliographic review and documentary analysis. Classic authors of political theory (Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau), public security theorists (Beccaria, Foucault, Monjardet and Cerqueira) are mobilized, as well as primary and secondary sources of Portuguese-Brazilian historiography on the police forces of the 18th and 19th centuries. The study identifies that the French model of policing, centralized and authoritarian, strongly influenced Portugal and, consequently, Brazil. However, in São Paulo, the institutional development of the police also reflected its own characteristics, linked to the bandeirante tradition, local autonomy and administrative pragmatism. These specificities show a parallel trajectory to that of Rio de Janeiro, indicating that the São Paulo model was not a mere replica, but rather an expression of a regional project of security and social control. The history of the police in Brazil cannot be explained solely from the experience of Rio. The case of São Paulo, linked to the so-called “police bandeirantism”, points to the need to decentralize the historiographical analysis and recognize the multiple forms of police institutionalization in the country. The police, as an instrument of the modern State, remains marked by the tension between the legitimate use of force and the preservation of civil rights — a dilemma that has permeated its historical trajectory to the present day.

Beyond economic performance: a meta-analytic study of the relationship between performance indicators and cadre promotion in China

ABSTRACT This meta-analysis synthesizes evidence from 67 empirical studies to investigate the relationship between performance metrics and cadre promotion in China, advancing theoretical debates about tournament mechanisms in authoritarian regimes. The study yields three principal findings: First, economic performance exhibits robust and consistent positive associations with promotion across all administrative levels, regions, and political identities; second, environmental performance shows conditional effects, with significance restricted to intensity-based indicators such as pollution-to-GDP ratios, though these demonstrate secondary impacts relative to economic metrics; and third, other non-economic metrics reveal systematic disparities – social stability maintenance shows null effects despite policy prominence, innovation only correlates when economically instrumental, and public service investment displays a counterintuitive negative association. These findings refine promotion tournament and political tournament theories by demonstrating how China’s evaluation system selectively operationalizes performance criteria. While confirming economic growth as the dominant promotion driver, the results reveal significant implementation gaps in formal comprehensive evaluation policies, particularly for non-economic metrics. By systematically mapping these patterns, the research provides both an analytical framework for studying authoritarian personnel systems and empirical benchmarks for cross-regime comparisons of performance-based governance.

Public policy formulation or policy panopticon? Revisiting the role of political elites in policymaking

Most public policy frameworks, such as the policy cycle, multiple streams, punctuated equilibrium, policy feedback, and advocacy coalition frameworks, originate from the global north, and their understanding of political elite dynamics remains limited and context-specific. In the global south, particularly in countries like India with distinct constitutional systems and governance structures, this narrow and limited perspective weakens the policy framework’s explanatory power, limiting their ability to address accountability, systemic inequities, and elite manipulation. This study revisits political elites and their will as a socio-political phenomenon, introducing the concept of the ‘policy panopticon’ to describe their pervasive influence on policymaking. The research adopts discourse analysis as its methodological framework to uncover ontological gaps in the public policy frameworks mentioned above. It specifically investigates how these frameworks address the role and influence of political elites and their political will in shaping policy processes. This analysis is based on key indicators derived from a comprehensive literature review of contemporary facets of political class theory, which are then applied within the discourse analysis methodology to examine policy frameworks. The findings highlight that existing policy frameworks fail to account for political willingness, particularly concerning techno-governance artefacts and political class influence. This gap in the literature underscores the need for further theoretical refinement and practical understanding of how political elites shape policy processes within diverse democratic contexts.

Participation of 1- to 3-year-old children in the early childhood education and care community: a question of borderwork

ABSTRACT This study focuses on the youngest children’s community participation, and the research question is as follows: How do teachers facilitate opportunities for community participation in early childhood education and care (ECEC) for the youngest (1- to 3-year-old) children? The study is based on a qualitative hermeneutic analysis of semi-structured interviews with six ECEC teachers from three different ECEC institutions. Theoretically, the study is primarily based on Habermas’s perceptions that educational processes occur at the intersection between individuals and society, the lifeworld and the system, as well as aspects from Yuval-Davis’s theory of politics of belonging and the ways in which teachers and children create borders. The results of the analyses indicate that facilitating community participation with the youngest children involves complex borderwork between possibilities and limitations. These can include institutional frames, awareness and knowledge of the children’s lifeworld and their subjective experiences and expressions and ways to support and create opportunities for establishing communities.

Political Theory among Cartesians: Géraud de Cordemoy and Antoine Le Grand

ABSTRACT One of the many areas of his philosophical project that René Descartes (1596–1650) left to be developed by future generations is political theory. While Descartes took relatively little interest in the realm of the political as long as the political stability necessary to tend to quiet philosophical meditation was maintained, later Cartesian philosophers developed their understanding of political theory in more explicit and detailed terms. Among these, two philosophers stand out: Géraud de Cordemoy (1626–1684) and Antoine Le Grand (1629–1699). However, their political philosophy is little known. I first study the case of Cordemoy who emerges as a fierce defender of absolutism, especially that of Louis XIV. I will then turn to Antoine Le Grand who equally favours monarchical rule over aristocracy and democracy. Overall, this article contributes in important ways to the history of political philosophy, specifically, in seventeenth-century France.

First Nations’ Citizenship and Kinship Compared: Belonging’s Stake in Legality

Abstract Many First Nation individuals appear to accept that debates about belonging to First Nations political community are properly framed as debates about citizenship. Interlocutors frequently identify the ongoing significance of kinship, but fold it into their conception of citizenship. This Article resists citizenship’s orthodoxy. Kinship is not a unique feature of First Nations citizenship, but rather is its own model of belonging to a political community: a model internal to First Nations law, understood on its own terms. There are, then, two models of belonging to First Nations political community, citizenship and kinship, within and over which debates about belonging play out. For First Nations political communities using their own systems of law, kinship is a source of fundamental legal interests, just as citizenship is a source of fundamental rights and freedoms in modern liberal democracies. However, comparativists, legal theorists, and political theorists have struggled to appreciate this reality because internal (or settler) colonialism disconnects kinship from legality conceptually and thus institutionally. Those connections must be reestablished. To that end, this Article shows that, functionally, kinship is a full answer to citizenship. The argument is made in two interwoven parts, each of which turns on the picture of kinship as a structural feature of First Nations law, understood on its own terms. First, kinship is citizenship’s political equal insofar as it offers a justificatory account of belonging to a political community; second, kinship is citizenship’s legal equal insofar as it, too, serves as a foundation for fundamental legal interests. The gravamen of this Article is, thus, twofold. First, one is not hearing what First Nations law says about belonging if one is only willing or able to listen in the language of citizenship. Second, the stakes in one’s choice of model are significant: citizenship and kinship structure legality in fundamentally different ways.

Progressive Confucianism: Its Proponents and Prospects

ABSTRACTThe 四海为学 “Collaborative Learning” project is a free online academic forum that hosts dozens of events annually. Its tenth roundtable, on “Progressive Confucianism,” was held on February 20, 2025.1 The event placed two leading progressive Confucian theorists, Chenyang Li and Stephen C. Angle, into discussion with several other leading scholars of contemporary Confucian moral and political theory, featuring Ranjoo Herr, Elena Ziliotti, Sophia Feiyan Gao, Li Luyao, and audience members. The group exchanged views on a variety of important questions, including: the relation between traditional Confucianism and modern forms of equality, including political equality, gender equality, and human rights; the relation between traditional Confucianism and modern academic Confucian philosophy; and what exactly is progressive about progressive Confucianism. This article first introduces progressive Confucianism as an emergent camp of Confucian normative theory. It then recaps key points of the roundtable discussion and concludes by outlining a few key takeaways that help further contextualize the place of these theories in contemporary Confucian discourse.

To what extent does supply chain integration mediate the relationship between sustainable supply chain management practices and firm performance

PurposeAchieving sustainability within supply chain operations is widely considered to boost firms’ competitiveness and bottom line. Thus, researchers have examined the implications of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) practices on firm performance outcomes, albeit with inconclusive results. Also, significant unexplored gaps exist regarding the intervening role of supply chain integration (SCI). Anchored in the political economy theory, this study explored how different forms of SCI mediate the relationship between each of the triple-bottom-line (TBL) pillars of SSCM practices and firm performance.Design/methodology/approachThe research model and associated hypotheses were tested using 455 survey data obtained from a cross-section of Ghanaian firms and the partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique.FindingsThe results indicate that all the TBL dimensions of SSCM practices significantly and positively impact firm performance. Nevertheless, various forms of SCI mediate the link between SSCM practices and firm performance differently. Specifically, the findings reveal that customer integration and internal integration mediate the relationship between SSCM practices and firm performance. Supplier integration mediates the relationships between the economic and environmental aspects of SSCM practices and firm performance but not the relationship between the social dimension and firm performance.Originality/valueThis study fulfills a noteworthy literature gap by providing empirical evidence of the mediating role of SCI in translating SSCM practices into better firm performance, especially in the context of a developing country. Thus, it offers guidance for firms to leverage integration with strategic supply chain partners and implement SSCM practices effectively and, in turn, to ensure better performance.

Cosmopolitanism, law, and narrative: An interpretation of the right to narrate

This article offers an interpretation of the right to narrate, a concept developed by Homi Bhabha but not extensively explored. Bhabha discusses this right within the framework of his ‘vernacular cosmopolitanism’, a cosmopolitan perspective that challenges the hierarchical geography of globalisation and instead focuses on the uneven composition of contemporary national communities shaped by the history of imperialism and cultural displacement. Although widely discussed, Bhabha’s work has rarely been explored in relation to cosmopolitan political theory, making this article an attempt to bridge postcolonial thought and political theory. My aim is to interpret the right to narrate by analysing the concept of narrative through the work of Walter Benjamin and Hannah Arendt, and by examining the relationship between law and narrative as discussed by Robert Cover and Seyla Benhabib. I argue that the political invocation of the right to narrate arises from the gap between national belonging and the enjoyment of rights. Addressing individuals or groups marginalised from political participation or social inclusion, the right to narrate promotes their political mobilisation defending their ability to reinterpret and wield human rights in original and unpredictable ways.

Minogue and the End of Conservatism

Abstract The heyday of conservative intellectual activity in Britain lay between the appearance in 1978 of Conservative Essays edited by Maurice Cowling and the publication in 1996 of Conservative Realism: New Essays in Conservatism edited by Kenneth Minogue. For the most part, these collections represent two understandings of conservatism: the first more oriented towards cultural and social traditionalism, the second directed to the critique of leftist ideologies and the advancement of individualism and freedom. These differences touch on deep issues about the nature, credentials, range, and aims of conservatism and its relation to political theory and practice. This essay explores some of these via an examination of the thought of Kenneth Minogue, a student and then colleague of Michael Oakshott at the London School of Economics, a supporter and friend of Margaret Thatcher, and a dedicated opponent of what he termed “ideology.” The roots of his thought about politics lie in the work of Oakeshott who argues that the role of theory is to interpret various spheres or “modes” of experience, and not to apply itself to action within those spheres. In line with this, Minogue treats political philosophies in the ordinary sense as forms of ideology. For Minogue, however, ideology has a narrower sense relating to theories that claim to reveal forms of social oppression and argue for action to overthrow these. His attack on ideologies (which he sees as including certain forms of conservatism) is connected with his advocacy of individualism and liberty. This paper explores these various issues claiming that this way of thinking rests on misconceptions of the nature of philosophy, and that far from eschewing philosophical support, conservatism should be seeking it out.

Structural educational injustice, political responsibility, and epistemic activism

ABSTRACT Despite recent scholarship in political theory that shifts the focus of injustice from agents to social structures, educational justice scholarship in philosophy of education remains primarily individualistic as regards the causes of injustice. However, it seems that agents’ actions are more constrained than individualistic accounts suggest and that educational injustice is largely the result of structural processes. Accordingly, it is argued that scholars should focus on the political instead of the moral responsibility of agents for disrupting educational injustice. This is suggestive of an epistemic activist approach to advancing educational justice that utilizes the power of social movements to disrupt the structural conditions that support educational injustice. The example of unjust school punishment in the United States is used as a case in point.

Analysis of The Effectiveness and Efficiency of Government Policies for Valuing Veteran Rights

The aim of this research is to study, analyze and describe in more depth the effectiveness and efficiency of government politics to appreciate veterans' rights. Thus the author uses theoretical references in the form of analysis theory (grand theory) according to Ling Gie (1989:26) who says that analysis is the whole series. a change of mind that examines something in depth, especially studying parts and a whole to find out the characteristics of each, their relationship to each other and their role in the rounded whole. And it can also be complemented by supporting theories such as: effectiveness theory, efficiency, political theory, definition of appreciation, rights theory, and definition of veteran. In this research, the researcher used descriptive qualitative methods to describe government politics to appreciate veterans' rights, especially in Manufahi district. The research information in question is the Manufahi Veterans Commission, veterans who have received their rights and also veterans who feel marginalized from their rights as fighters, all of whom consist of of 8 people. Data collection techniques in this research are observation, documentation interviews and interactive model data analysis techniques according to Miles & Huberman (2017:247) to expedite the existing research process. The conclusion of all research results regarding the analysis of the effectiveness and efficiency of government politics in appreciating veterans' rights. The government's policy of appreciating veterans' rights has not been effective and efficient. Veterans' problems will become more complex for the government to resolve. The political and discriminatory problems resulting from the implementation of pension and renovation policies further increase the dissatisfaction of veterans. Veterans' problems will not be resolved if there are still veterans who feel marginalized. from government politics. Party system practices and favoritism in the process of collecting veteran data become obstacles for the government to solve veterans' problems if the process remains non-transparent, the influence of political parties and the family system becomes a barrier to finding solutions to veterans' problems correctly and definitively. The problem will become complicated in the future, because both individuals and groups of veterans feel dissatisfied with the politics implemented by the government.

Frozen Subjectivity: Vulnerability and Aesthetics at the End of the World

Abstract Using an eclectic mix of sources including political theory, a novel by Don DeLillo, a translation of Heidegger, and a visit to cryopreservation facility, this article examines how the will to sovereignty is shadowed by its disavowed other, vulnerability. Wounding constitutes the etymological heart of vulnerability (vulnus signifies wound), and this apprehension of injury generates the impossible fantasy of a subjectivity impermeable to change. Starting with the cryonic preservation of human bodies and then considering the atmosphere of a warming planet and ultimately the idea of “conceptual freezing,” this fantasy of invulnerability has literal, environmental, and philosophical implications. The textual and cultural sites examined herein disclose that sovereignty not only never escapes but also requires the vulnerability it would disavow. This snag in the logic of sovereignty creates a potential for rethinking vulnerability by looking critically at the aesthetics of preservation and timelessness upon which sovereignty relies. It is an exercise that entails thinking about art and literature as endeavors capable of challenging illusions of self-sovereignty that are serviced and maintained by technologies of preservation for lasting beyond the end of the world.
