“…Studying intervention within the totality of capitalist world society is obviously a challenging undertaking. It comes with rather infinite possibilities of analysis (Adorno, 1972: 18;Buckel, 2012). Totalizing critique aspires not to 'know all aspects of reality exhaustively', but to form a 'concrete totality' of the particular problem one sets out to analyse (Kosík, 1976: 19).…”

Strategies of critique in International Relations: From Foucault and Latour towards Marx

Critique is back on the scholarly agenda. Since the financial crisis, critique has been debated in philosophy and sociology with renewed rigour. International Relations is currently picking up on these developments. Yet, the critique of capitalism is largely absent in International Relations. This article argues that the theoretical resources deployed among 'radical' International Relations help explain this phenomenon. In order to rectify this, the article aims to resituate Marx at the centre of the debate about critique. Based on a discussion of the understandings of critique by Michel Foucault and Bruno Latour, the article shows that their conscious focus on the small and the contingent has prevented a more totalizing strategy of critique from taking hold. The article illustrates this unwillingness to situate social life in our capitalist social whole by zooming in on 'resistant' intervention scholarship. Speaking to the nature of International Relations more broadly, in a second step, the article shows that this lack of 'totalizing' analysis has been present in International Relations and International Political Economy since their inception. Taking into account Marxian and Critical Theoretical understandings of totality, the article outlines a totalizing strategy of critique. This strategy has two components: it takes capitalism as such seriously; and it offers a methodology to implement this substantial shift using Marx's dynamic method of 'concretization'.

“…Mit Blick auf die globalen ökonomischen Verwobenheiten sowie den Bedarf des internationalen Arbeitsmarkts an qualifiziertem und leistungsfähigem »Humankapital« wäre ein solches Regime -würde es tatsächlich lückenlos umgesetzt werden bzw. funktionieren -schnell zum Scheitern verurteilt (vgl Buckel, 2012)…”

Migration ist eines der zentralen Themen der Gegenwart. Migrationsphänomene spiegeln dabei nicht nur die machtvolle Bestimmtheit der sozialen Welt, sondern auch ihre grundlegende Unbestimmtheit. Matthias Rangger geht der Frage nach, wie Bildung unter dieser Bedingung gedacht werden kann. Mittels der Modellierung hegemonietheoretischer Perspektiven leistet er eine migrationspädagogische Akzentuierung eines politisch gedachten Bildungsbegriffs in einer postkolonialen Welt. Bildung zeigt sich hier als Bewegung, die nach einem grundlegend anderen Verhältnis zu sich selbst, zu anderen und zur Welt sucht, um darüber bessere Lebensbedingungen für alle zu ermöglichen.

“…However, rather than pursuing an overarching strategy, such endeavors remain heterogeneous and involve state institutions, supranational organizations, and think tanks, as well as private enterprises. These new types of actor constellations, as well as the increasing role of private actors in developing and implementing sector-specific instruments as technologies for steering migration, reflect new relations of power in society and a fundamental change in statehood (Buckel 2012;Forschungsgruppe »Staatsprojekt Europa« 2014).…”

Analyzing Migration Management: On the Recruitment of Nurses to Germany

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In Germany, a grave labor shortage in the nursing and elderly care sectors has prompted the response of recruiting skilled nursing staff from abroad in recent years. This article analyzes these recruitment practices as forms of “migration management”: German migration policy has changed according to this paradigm to attempt utilitarian control over migration processes and mediate between labor market concerns on the one hand and isolationist, politico-cultural seclusion on the other. Based on original research through interviews and document analysis, we identify four relevant levels of analysis in researching migration management in the context of the recruitment of skilled nurses: (1) Definition of problem areas: How is migration programmatically legitimized as a solution to social problems? (2) Categorization of migration: How are migration processes classified? (3) Change in statehood: How are sites and actors of migration control being privatized and diversified? (4) Technologies: By means of which procedures, legal foundations and political instruments does migration management take place in the everyday? We believe that taking these four foci as points of departure would be beneficial for further inquiries in critical migration research.
