Securitising Decolonisation

“…Unlike Maria Ketzmerick, who considers the Aberystwyth School connectable to postcolonial theories and the empirical object of decolonisation. 217 Ketzmerick strives to make the connection between securitisation and postcolonial theories fruitful, for example, by understanding the securitisation audience in terms of Homi Bhabha's third space. 218 In 2020, Alison Howell and Melanie Richter-Montpetit fundamentally accused 'Securitization Theory' of a general "civilizationism, methodological whiteness, and antiblack racism."…”

Europa dezentralisieren als Strategie – Was bedeutet „nicht-westlich“ in der und für die Friedens- und Konfliktforschung?

“…Seit den anti-kolonialen Befreiungskämpfen (Fanon 1981) und dem nachfolgenden Aufkommen postkolonialer Theorie gibt es Bestrebungen Disziplinen, Forschungsfoci und Wissen zu dekolonisieren (Bhabha 2012;Said 1979;Spivak 1988, (Abboud et al 2018;Adamson 2020;Barkawi und Laffey 2006;Ketzmerick 2018).
