Struggles for Recognition: The Liberal International Order and the Merger of Its Discontents

The Liberal International Order (LIO) is currently being undermined not only by states such as Russia but also by voters in the West. We argue that both veins of discontent are driven by resentment toward the LIO's status hierarchy, rather than simply by economic grievances. Approaching discontent historically and sociologically, we show that there are two strains of recognition struggles against the LIO: one in the core of the West, driven by populist politicians and their voters, and one on the semiperiphery, fueled by competitively authoritarian governments and their supporters. At this particular moment in history, these struggles are digitally, ideologically, and organizationally interconnected in their criticism of LIO institutions, amplifying each other. The LIO is thus being hollowed out from within at a time when it is also facing some of its greatest external challenges.

“…As Ned Lebow (2008) puts it, drawing on Hegel, there is a need of ‘Others’ for recognition and inclusion. In this sense, misrecognition is ‘the feeling of … the negative difference between a claimed self-image and the image given to us by others’ (Lindemann, 2014: 543). Accordingly, a state’s actions are driven by attempts to close this gap and stabilise the Self in order to gain ontological security (Mitzen, 2006), and this is ultimately what Ringmar (2014) calls international recognition games.…”

International misrecognition: The politics of humour and national identity in Israel’s public diplomacy

Recognition, or the lack of it, is a central concern in International Relations. However, how states cope with international misrecognition has so far not been thoroughly explored in International Relations scholarship. To address this, the article presents a theoretical framework for understanding international misrecognition by drawing on discursive and psychoanalytical theories of collective identity formation and humour studies. The article conceptualises international misrecognition as a gap between the dominant narrative of a national Self and the way in which this national Self is reflected in the ‘mirror’ of the international Other. We argue that humour offers an important way of coping with misrecognition by ridiculing and thereby downplaying international criticism. The significance for international relations is illustrated through an analysis of the public diplomacy campaign ‘Presenting Israel’, which, through parodying video clips, mobilised ordinary Israeli citizens to engage in peer-to-peer public diplomacy when travelling abroad. Public diplomacy campaigns are commonly seen by scholars and practitioners as attempts to improve the nation’s image and smoothen or normalise international Self–Other relations. However, after analysing the discursive and visual components of the campaign — which parodied how European media portrayed Israel as primitive, violent and exotic — this article observes that in the context of international misrecognition, such coping attempts can actually contribute to further international estrangement.

“…Claramente es una tarea difícil porque las investigaciones sobre el reconocimiento (en su mayoría de carácter filosófico) se han centrado en el análisis de los movimientos sociales y de los grupos étnicos, en unos casos (Taylor, 2009;Fraser, 1997), pero también en las relaciones entre el reconocimiento y las obligaciones morales, en otros casos (Honneth, 1996(Honneth, , 2009a. Además, existen estudios que vinculan el reconocimiento a la teorización acerca de las relaciones internacionales (Lindemann, 2013;Kessler y Herborth, 2013). En otras palabras, a primera vista pareciera que el tema del reconocimiento "según ha sido desarrollado por la tradición hegeliana" no tuviese ningún tipo de relación con la investigación social de la ciencia.…”

Este artículo aporta a la fundamentación de una sociología del conocimiento la recuperación del concepto de lucha intersubjetiva por el reconocimiento. De forma paralela, expone algunos hallazgos de la fase empírico-cualitativa de la investigación: Línea base para la construcción de indicadores de comunicación del conocimiento en el área de ciencias sociales, humanidades y artes. En cuanto a la categoría teórica, los investigadores del área de Ciencias Sociales, Humanidades y Artes de la Universidad de Antioquia reclaman que sus disciplinas sean vistas como una forma particular de conocer. Adicionalmente, consideran que, tal como se encuentran configurados, el Sistema Nacional de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación (sncti) y el Sistema Universitario de Investigación (sui) tienen una visión unidimensional del conocimiento.
