Abstract

Across the globe, radical conservative political forces and ideas are influencing and even transforming the landscape of international politics. Yet IR is remarkably ill-equipped to understand and engage these new challenges. Unlike political theory or domestic political analyses, conservatism has no distinctive place in the fields’ defining alternatives of realism, liberalism, Marxism, and constructivism. This paper seeks to provide a point of entry for such engagement by bringing together what may seem the most unlikely of partners: critical theory and the New Right. Important parts of today’s New Right represent self-conscious appropriations of Critical themes and thinkers—turning them to self-declared “reactionary” ends. Developing outside the confines of the academy, these forms of thought have woven insights from across Critical theory into new and mobilizing forms of conservative ideology, seeking to link that ideology to social forces that play increasingly active roles in global politics. Our intention here is not to somehow blame Critical perspectives for the ideas of the New Right, either directly or by association. Rather, we seek to show how an engagement with Critical theory helps us understand the New Right, while also demonstrating some of the direct challenges the New Right poses for critical perspectives.
从批判到反动:新右派、批判理论与国际关系
在全球范围内,激进保守的政治力量和思想正在影响甚至改变国际政治格局。然而,在理解和应对这些新挑战方面,IR的装备明显不足。与政治理论或国内政治分析不同,保守主义在定义现实主义、自由主义、马克思主义和建构主义的替代方案方面没有独特的地位。本文试图通过汇集看似最不可能的合作伙伴:批判理论和新右翼,为这种接触提供一个切入点。今天新右派的重要组成部分代表了对批判主题和思想家的自觉挪用——将它们转向自我宣称的“反动”目的。这些思想形式在学术范围之外发展,将批判理论的见解编织成新的、可动员的保守意识形态形式,试图将这种意识形态与在全球政治中发挥日益积极作用的社会力量联系起来。在这里,我们的意图不是以某种方式将新右派的思想归咎于批判观点,无论是直接的还是连带的。相反,我们试图展示与批判理论的接触如何帮助我们理解新右翼,同时也展示了新右翼对批判观点提出的一些直接挑战。

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
