“…For some, this was a battle cry, for others a disaster. Michael Cox's article 88 identifies Arnold Toynbee, a noted philosopher of history and (Chatham House-style) polymath as one of the latter. Toynbee expressed the hope that the 'habit of nationalism' could be broken.…”

‘The Story So Far’ is the conclusion of the first centenary Special Issue of the journal International Relations. The issue marks 100 years since the birth of the academic discipline of International Relations (IR), whose institutional moment was the endowment establishing the Department of International Politics at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, at the end of 1918, and its subsequent opening in April 1919. The collection of articles marking this unique event consists of reflections by a group of leading scholars on themes of continuity and change at the international level of world politics in that century. The present article considers these reflections in the context of problematising our attempts to understand the long history and complex dynamics of international relations.

“…Just as Michael Cox wrote, "nationalism has throughout continued to retain its power of mobilizing peoples and setting nation against nation". [16] To establish independent modern nation-state is an inevitable process of modern society, we have to understand, process and use of national identity and nationalism properly.…”

The modern nation-state is a very important and complicated political entity form in today's world. In the foreseeable future, it will still be one of the world's most general and dominant community pattern. Therefore, it has certain academic and practical significance to understand the basic situation of modern nation-state by analyzing and explaining its fundamental definition, core bearing consciousness and legitimacy construction. This paper suggests that modern nation-state as the most common pattern of modern political entity is the product of modern society, which ensuring the existence of the whole ethnic community and all individuals in it. The nation-state has to cohere and unite its people through the dual core of national identity and nationalist ideology. On one hand, national identity has become the operational foundation of modern nation-state and provided the most core cohesion for the establishment, consolidation and development for it. On the other hand, nationalism can be a kind of modern ethnic ideology and social political movement, and also a demand of economic system, a construction of social cultures and feelings. Only on this basis, the nation-state's autonomy and people's survival rights and unique values can be guaranteed, then the legitimacy construction of the nation-state can be realized. And the legitimacy construction of modern nation-state embodies in the enforcement of nationality policy, the protection of national sovereignty and the balance of international order. In the era of nation-state, we have to continuous concern both its broad connotation and its problem domain to grasp the essence of the modern society.

“…These range from concerns with cyclical breakdowns of global financial markets and their aftermaths, 6 to recurrence and resurgence of nationalism as a 'crisis of world order', to global pandemics and risks of climatic and ecological catastrophe. 7 Yet, while familiar, the concept of crisis itself deserves further consideration, not least owing to its occurrence and recurrence within such literatures. Several major contributions have previously moved in this general direction, with some seeking to reflect on how concepts of crisis frame, bound, and thus specify and delimit international policy problems.…”

This article analyses and critically reflects on how the concept of ‘crisis’ has tended to feature within prominent debates on ‘Crisis of the Liberal International Order’. Within such scholarship, the article argues, the concept of crisis most often functions as a technology of crisis management in itself: rather than disrupting narratives and assumptions of liberal progress and order, invocations of crisis within Liberal International Order scholarship tend to recapitulate those same narratives and assumptions. To make this case, the article undertakes an immanent critique of how crisis has been understood within debates on the Liberal International Order, drawing on wider critical and social theoretic reflections on ‘crisis talk’ as the basis for a more critical engagement. Doing so, it seeks to highlight the ways in which Crisis of the Liberal International Order debates constitute a particular way of understanding the relationship between crisis, liberalism and modernity.
