ABSTRACT Nations have for years sought to attain crucial foreign policy goals through programs of higher education. This article, after delineating the psychological dynamics underlying the creation of soft power affect, looks at three conspicuous such programs. They are America’s Fulbright Program, Australia’s Colombo Plan and the Soviet Union’s Patrice Lumumba University. Each of these was designed to promote both broad and specific foreign policy goals in the post-World War II period. Analyzing these cases yields some essential insights into how nations attempt to raise their global influence through the medium of higher education.

ABSTRACT Environmental issues have become unavoidable over the last few decades. Countries are increasingly undergoing decision-making processes that involve impacts on the environment. Among the many possible costs of misuse of the environment, one that has drawn attention is with regard to soft power. In other words, can environmental degradation actually lead to a worsening of countries’ soft power? The empirical answer suggests that it does. In addition, we attempt to identify which specific factors within the environmental issue can have the greatest impact on countries’ soft power. Furthermore, measures that affect people’s health seem to be especially important points of impact on countries’ soft power.

ABSTRACT Bureaucracies, especially state bureaucracies, are typified as rational-legal organizations. We study how one such bureaucracy acted as neither rational nor legal but proved to be a space of exclusion. Ihor Homenuyk, a Ukrainian citizen, was ‘retained’ and then killed by the Portuguese foreigners and borders service. Police abuse has been much in the news in recent times, as a result of the Black Lives Matter movement. The issues are wider than those of racial injustice, however; they go to the nub of what it means to protect both the citizen and the honour of these organizations that engage with them in a way that is required to be legally rational. We use the case to open the black box of abuse and advance an explanation of how vicious dynamics happen.

The careful reader will find in Óscar García Agustín’s concise book Left-wing populism: The politics of the people an industrious intervention in the debate over the political theorization of left populism, a debate moreover that at times appears to be deadlocked 1 . Is left-wing populism simply the partner-in-crime of right-wing populism, thereby reactionary and illiberal? Has ‘the people’, or the political subject populism holds in such high regard, eclipsed traditional left-wing concepts like class? Should left-wing populism be re-imagined, for high political theory at least, in terms of radical republicanism as recent authors like Camila Vergara have argued? How should we imagine the future of left-wing populist politics geographically? Are we, in the terms of Alex Sager stuck with ‘methodological nationalism’? Or is a transnational, even cosmopolitan left-wing populism viable and compelling?
细心的读者会在奥斯卡·加西亚·阿古斯汀（Oscar García Agustín）的简明著作《左翼民粹主义：人民的政治》（Left wing populism：The politics of The people）中发现，这是对左翼民粹主义政治理论化辩论的一次勤奋干预，此外，这场辩论有时似乎陷入僵局。左翼民粹主义只是右翼民粹主义的犯罪伙伴，从而反动和不自由吗？“人民”，或者民粹主义如此推崇的政治主题，是否已经超越了阶级等传统左翼概念？左翼民粹主义是否应该像卡米拉·维加拉（Camila Vergara）等最近的作家所说的那样，从激进共和主义的角度重新想象，至少在高级政治理论方面是这样？我们应该如何在地理上想象左翼民粹主义政治的未来？用亚历克斯·萨杰的话说，我们是不是陷入了“方法论民族主义”？或者，一种跨国的、甚至是世界性的左翼民粹主义是可行的、令人信服的吗？

ABSTRACT War crimes are being committed in Ukraine today, but who should be held responsible? By looking at the literature on responsibility and violence by Philippa Foot and John Harris, this article argues that there are grounds for holding Vladimir Putin responsible for war crimes in Ukraine, even if he did not give the command for these crimes and other atrocities to be carried out.

ABSTRACT The main purpose of this paper is to examine Rahel Jaeggi’s critical theory. To this end, the analysis focuses on central aspects of Jaeggi’s account of forms of life. In addition, it considers the case for immanent criticism and its place in a critical theory of forms of life. The final section sheds light on some key issues arising from Jaeggi’s framework. The paper concludes by suggesting that Jaeggi’s approach represents a major contribution to contemporary social philosophy and that, more broadly, critical theory will continue to serve as a reservoir of conceptual tools for the study of power relations.

ABSTRACT Some argue that republican freedom is impossible because since it is always possible that a person or a group of persons possesses arbitrary power to interfere with individuals, no one is free to do anything. To avoid this challenge, in their recent article, Sean Ingham and Frank Lovett invoke the notion of ignorability in terms of which they offer a moderate interpretation of republican freedom. On their view, B is free from A to φ if A’s possible types who prefer to intervene with B’s φ-ing are ignorable. They also try to show that freedom is not determined by the probability of an intervention. However, we argue that they fail to do this and that freedom as non-domination is not entailed by ignorability.

ABSTRACT Anchored in a ‘core story’ of childhood development, ‘the biology of adversity and resilience’ (TBOAR) is an emerging scientific paradigm that seeks to explain how and why adverse childhood experiences have consequences in the form of negative ‘outcomes’ that span health and behavioural problems. In this article, Two Fuse bring TBOAR into conversation with an alternative way of producing knowledge about childhood adversity: an arts and education programme called Boys in the Making, which sees groups of boys and young men come together to collectively explore how a boy is shaped by and influences the world he lives in.

In recent years epigenetics has become somewhat of a buzzword in science and popular science, and not to mention in a growing body of pseudo-scientific self-help literature (some of which may even best be described as quackery). As the rhetorical and somewhat tongue-incheek questions posed by Guardian writer Cath Ennis (2014) in the quote above indicate, the ‘hype’ surrounding epigenetics may seem to concern everything and anything that cannot be neatly categorised as a consequence of either ‘nature’ or ‘nurture’. Social theorist Maurizio Meloni’s book Impressionable biologies: From the archaeology of plasticity to the sociology of epigenetics (2019) takes a closer look at the paradigm shift that has emerged out of what sometimes goes under the name of ‘the postgenomic era’.
