“…Geuss argues that one of the main tasks of realism is to engage in Ideologiekritik , the project of unmaking the norms and beliefs that legitimate and reproduce the status quo (Geuss, ; Prinz, ; Finlayson, , ). Although he does not develop the argument, this ambition underpins his scepticism about human rights, which he describes as “inherently vacuous” and “a kind of puffery or white magic” (Geuss, : 164).…”

“…This points towards a "pluralisation of hegemonies"-the coexistence of regional powers balancing one another-though Mouffe has not yet fleshed out the details of this picture. 10 Geuss argues that one of the main tasks of realism is to engage in Ideologiekritik, the project of unmaking the norms and beliefs that legitimate and reproduce the status quo (Geuss, 2016;Prinz, 2016;Finlayson, 2015Finlayson, , 2016.…”

In this article, I explore recent work on realist political theory and international politics. I discuss how scholarship on the topic emanates from two different fields—International Relations and political philosophy—and argue that there is a good case for greater engagement between them. I open by delineating various kinds of realism, showing that the term covers a wide variety of methodological and political approaches. In particular, I suggest, it is important to recognize the difference between liberal and radical approaches. The remainder of the essay examines assorted examples of realist international political theorizing, work that ranges from attempts to rewrite the canon of 20th century political thought to contributions to the vibrant global justice debates.

“…5 As Lorna Finlayson claims, contemporary disciplines maintain the dominance of the Western liberal framework, and so becoming political inside and out, which limits our understanding of the world, including the history of the women's movement in the East. 6 Thus, by stepping beyond the frequently re-produced historical claims that there was a rather insignificant feminist movement in the East, I aim to debunk the myth of 'second-class' feminism there. 7 In doing so, I consider decoloniality an important tool to unfold what the hegemonic Western knowledge failed to do.…”

Family Conceptions at the Intersection of Feminism, Public Health, and Nationalism in Czechoslovakia (1918–1939)

Even the seemingly liberal Czechoslovak political elites were anxious about the notion of depopulation, and feared the death of the nation, which led them to disregard the societal need for modernizing family planning. At the same time, Czechoslovak women experts were significantly involved in debates on conceptions of the family. They fueled debates on the sexual liberation of women in Czechoslovakia not as a matter of ideology or morality, but as a matter of public health, social justice, and reproductive rights. This paper aims to look at these women experts and their active role in academic debates on Czechoslovak policies on family and reproduction. Looking at the case of Czechoslovakia, as a non-Western country, this article then discusses the issues of the marginalization of women's activism and feminism in the East. The article suggests that, by applying a decolonial lens, a broader inclusion of the history of feminism of non-Western women can be achieved.
