Abstract

Contemporary international institutions are often discussed as part of a new liberal international order and a departure from colonial logics of the nineteenth century. While some have discussed the ongoing dynamics of race within international institutions, few have explored whiteness as the positionality embedded in such institutions. This article argues that the racial logics embedded in most international institutions, throughout the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries, are developed in relation to the structures of experience and consciousness of whiteness that circumscribe notions of 'universality' and 'normalcy'. This renders whiteness as an invisible characteristic, or background knowledge and practice, to which racialisation occurs. Using the case of the Ottoman Empire's attempt to accede to the European group of 'civilised nations' and subsequent Turkish attempts to gain membership to the European Union, this article explores how a phenomenology of whiteness is historically produced and embedded as an orientating mechanism in international institutions.

全球白人现象学:土耳其、欧洲与制度性全球种族主义
当代国际机构往往被视为新的自由国际秩序的一部分,是对十九世纪殖民逻辑的摒弃。虽然有些人讨论了国际机构中种族问题的持续动态,但很少有人探讨白人在这些机构中的地位。本文认为,在整个十九、二十和二十一世纪,大多数国际机构中的种族逻辑都是与白人的经验和意识结构相关联的,这些经验和意识结构限定了 "普遍性 "和 "正常性 "的概念。这使得白人成为一种无形的特征或背景知识和实践,而种族化正是在这种背景知识和实践的基础上发生的。本文以奥斯曼帝国试图加入欧洲 "文明国家 "集团以及土耳其随后试图加入欧盟为例,探讨了白人现象学是如何在历史上产生并作为一种导向机制嵌入国际机构的。
