Verden brenner. Hvordan formidles det til barna våre? Forskere ved Nupi har undersøkt.

Barn, nyheter, utenrikspolitikk - alle er da vel interesserte i minst ett av disse emnene? @kristinhaugevik.bsky.social og jeg har lenge vært interessert i dem alle. Kortversjon i Aftenposten her, fagartikkel i første kommentar:

New & still feeling my way around here so trying an introduction via a recent essay Emma Hutchison & I wrote for @coco-journal.bsky.social with our wonderful colleagues, Josephine Bourne & Hoang Young-ju: the result of a long collaboation and much soul-searching. journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

This just arrived at my door! Honored to contribute to this festschrift, edited by @halvardl.bsky.social, Alireza Shams Lahijani, and Einar Wigen, celebrating my friend, colleague, and mentor Iver B. Neumann. @kristinhaugevik.bsky.social, Jon Harald S. Lie, and I ponder the Neumannian methodology.

Training folk internationalists: foreign policy identity and children’s news How are new generations of policymakers and subjects introduced to ‘the world out there’ – and to their own state’s ambitions, practices, and impacts within that world? While multiple studies have ...

Academic news/humblebrag. Just published an article (Open Access) with the outstanding @kristinhaugevik.bsky.social. The article stems from our long-standing interest in how foreign policy identities are formed, and more specifically - how do Norwegians become internationalists?

Joining a new social media platform is a bit like switching school: One feels rather shy and awkward and all the jokes that seemed so witty and relevant in the old context now seem dated and attention-seeking. Like that jeans jacket I stopped wearing when I started a new school at 14.

The quest for a foreign policy ‘home turf’ after Brexit | NUPI Brexit marked a turning point in British foreign policy. Who would the United Kingdom now be on the world stage?

On safer ground? The emergence and evolution of ‘Global Britain’ The UK government's ‘Global Britain’ narrative has pivoted from global trade and the Indo-Pacific to security, defence, the Anglosphere and Euro-Atlantic relati

In 2017, Theresa May launched the contested notion of ‘Global Britain’. Why - and how did the new narrative evolve?

In our new piece in International Affairs, @oyvinds.bsky.social and I offer an analysis foregrounding ontological security and the concept of ‘home turfs’. 🧵

The research behind the article was made possible by research grants from the Norwegian MoD for the research project ‘Global Britain in the North’ (2022) and the strategic programme ‘Norway and great power politics—geopolitics, technology and climate’ (2022–).

We would like to thank Paul Beaumont for comments on a draft version of this piece. Thanks also to International Affairs’ three anonymous reviewers for constructive feedback and suggestions, and the Editors for a professional and smooth prosess.

We argue that the two moves ‘home’ - first to security and defence and then to the Anglosphere and EuroAtlantic - provided a sense of renewed stability of identity, which in turn can shed light on the trajectory of UK foreign policy priorities after 2016.

In the case of the UK, our contribution is to document how consolidation through relocation to home turfs emerged gradually as ‘Global Britain’ was being adjusted and filled with meaningful content domestically and internationally.

Our conceptual contribution to ontological security theory is that we help further specify a mechanism and device - i.e. ‘home turfs’ - through which the management of existential anxiety may occur.

While external developments evidently played a role in this, we argue that these two key shifts can - and should - be understood as expressive of British ontological security-seeking in the post-Brexit years.

What do we find? That the ‘Global Britain’ narrative evolved in a very different direction from what May sketched out in 2017. The narrative moved first from international trade to the security and defence domain. Then from the Indo-Pacific to the Anglosphere and Euro-Atlantic.

Our analytical focus is on dominant positions and representations in official discourse, put forth by actors authorized to speak on the state's behalf. We analyse a number of speeches, statements, and documents, and we have also conducted some interviews 📚📑💬

Empirically, we show how ‘Global Britain’ in the post-referendum years went from being mainly a rhetorical slogan and coping mechanism for government representatives, to becoming a framing device for the broader government apparatus when carving out UK foreign and security policy.

We suggest that narratives about foreign policy identity are more effective when they are anchored in and revolve around so-called ‘home turfs’ - themes and spaces where the state's identity is more prone to find an ontologically secure base. 🏘️

Adding to ontological security theory debates, we address the issue of how narratives like ‘Global Britain’ evolve and manifest themselves in the ‘next phase’, and the conditions under which they come to resonate with key audiences. 👥

(There is a lot of excellent scholarly work on these matters - too many to list in a SoMe-thread - but we build on, inter alia, the works of scholars such as Filip Ejdus, Jelena Subotic, Amir Lupovici, Katarina Kinnvall, Jennifer Mitzen, Rebecca Adler-Nissem and Nina Krickel-Choi) 🤓📚

Theoretically, we engage and contribute to ontological security scholarship highlighting how narratives serve as response tools and coping mechanisms for states facing ontological insecurity, also offering a way forward for divided governing elites.
