‘Green’ mining may produce what Le Billon calls ‘spaces of double exception’ – spaces where people are stripped of their rights to give way to both mining and biodiversity offsetting. However, this article highlights that resistance movements can also use the ‘exception’ by claiming that ‘exceptional people’ have special rights to remain on their lands. By drawing on two landmark cases, the article argues that ‘spaces of triple exception’ provides a more suitable picture of the stakes and power battles involved, considering the ambivalent resistance and exclusionary risk of indigenous or tribal claims.

Resistance is often depicted in terms of antagonism, in which its core is the politicization of different issues or identities. This paper, however, seeks to add to previous research by displaying how depoliticization could also be understood as a form of resistance. De/Politicization has previously been addressed in the Social Sciences as a power tactic. But, by bringing insight from, as well as illuminating, the ‘missing women’ situation in India, we suggest that depoliticization could also be considered a tactical form of dissent.

ABSTRACT In a discussion of Albena Azmanova’s book Capitalism on Edge (Columbia University Press, 2020), Amy Allen, Paul Apostolidis, Lea Ypi and Albena Azmanova debate key issues critical social theory confronts today. How should critical theorists re-engage with the critique of capitalism without entrapment in old ideological certainties? They revisit the classical debates about transformative agency, direction and methods of change, and the place of normative ideals and of moral theory in the critique of capitalism in light of the current historical juncture.

ABSTRACT These notes offer an unusual perspective on democracy by interpreting key categories of political science through the lens of economics, specifically drawing from the ‘theory of the firm’ literature. Due to incomplete contracts, political power is conceptualized as a variable quantum that balances power resources with constitutional and electoral constraints. Accordingly, the proposed model is used to explain how the amount of power can vary over time, what its determinants are, and what mechanisms can lead to political regime change in an era of world polarized by democracies and autocracies.

Even a cursory review of major world headlines over the past year underscores the highly complex and interdependent nature of world politics. Most states are struggling to deal with high inflation in the aftermath of Covid pandemic disruptions. A major international cryptocurrency exchange collapsed, leaving investors furious and decrying a failure of governance. The war in Ukraine grinds on, but the implications of the struggle for world energy and food markets, as well as Moscow’s capacity to offset the pain of multilateral sanctions illustrates both the scope and depth of global interdependence as well as the influence of transnational networks and alternative power centers willing to condone Russia’s aggression. This complexity presents difficulties for prevailing theoretical approaches to international relations (IR) theory such as realism, institutionalism and constructivism which share the assumption of a unitary state actor but focus on alternative causal factors to explain recurring patterns of state behavior and predict future outcomes under-specified conditions.

ABSTRACT Two significant developments – (1) the rapidly changing world order, and (2) significant gaps in current social science scholarship – call for a further exploration of resistance theories. In this paper, we identify some of the gaps and inconsistencies within the current bulk of research, and seek to contribute to the understanding of resistance, its applications and complexity. In short, this paper discusses three interacting and supporting forms of resistance, including various overlaps and interlinkages between them, which together constitute what we would like to call the ABC of resistance; that is, avoidance resistance, breaking resistance, and constructive resistance.

ABSTRACT This article discusses power in four dimensions and delves into the modes of encountering power by the subaltern. We delved into the lived experience of 25 male day laborers in the construction section in the city of Tehran, Iran, using narrative interviews that are analyzed from the perspective of hermeneutical phenomenology. The findings suggest that the concept of resistance cannot explain the encountering of power and that a broader conceptual network including receptiveness, powerlessness, as well as resistance, must be considered. The emergence of each of these modes depends on the actor’s situation and their interpretation of the situation.

ABSTRACT I introduce a newly identified form of power: telic power. While deontic power is a key concept in social ontology, it is too narrow to capture a central dimension of the social world. I introduce and define the previously overlooked concept of telic power, offering two justifications for this new concept. First, it captures a distinct and central dimension of the social world that has previously been neglected due to the one-sided use of examples and a consequent emphasis on deontic power. Second, it is theoretically useful because telic power can both conflict with and reinforce our deontic powers.
