The dominant paradigm of international relations theory has long seen influence over nuclear arsenals as the preserve of presidents, premiers and generals of the world's great powers, not underfunded activists, feminist campaigners, radical nuns or even diplomats of small states. The approach of this special section could not be more different. In fact, we have intentionally curated a collection of articles that try to ‘de‐center’ the academic conversation about nuclear weapons. The inspiration for our approach comes from the Humanitarian Initiative on Nuclear Weapons, which since its emergence after the 2010 Review Conference of the Nuclear Non‐Proliferation Treaty, has dramatically reshaped the diplomatic discussions on nuclear disarmament, led by small states and middle powers. The shift in discourse has been accelerated by revitalized civil society action, represented by the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, a global NGO coalition, as well as renewed calls for disarmament from religious leaders – most notably Pope Francis. This special section, written from the perspective of scholars and practitioners associated with the Humanitarian Initiative, examines its dimensions and its potential impact on global policy making.

“…O século XXI foi marcado pelo avanço avassalador do setor tecnológico, algo que atingiu diretamente o setor bélico dos Estados, resultando em uma dificuldade normativa em acompanhar o desenvolvimento nos tipos de armas utilizadas em conflito -fator este que põem em xeque o próprio Direito Internacional Humanitário. Outrossim, a alta tecnologia bélica maximiza os danos colaterais e acidentais possíveis de serem causados à sociedade de não combatentes (RAPPERT et al, 2012).…”

A temática sobre conflitos armados sempre foi uma das mais importantes do campo das Relações Internacionais, principalmente para a área dos estudos de segurança, bem como para o Direito Internacional Humanitário (DIH). Trata-se de matérias debatidas no ambiente internacional, visto que está diretamente relacionada com a própria sobrevivência dos Estados em um ambiente anárquico (AUST, 2005). No entanto, o que a história tem a nos revelar é que os conflitos contemporâneos possuem características até então não vistas nos conflitos armados pretéritos. Essas transformações se deram a partir dos avanços da tecnologia, das táticas, das estratégias e do aparecimento de novos atores internacionais (SHAW, 2003).

The Discursive Turn Arrives in Turtle Bay: The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons’ Operationalization of CriticalIRTheories

The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) has aimed to reenergize global civil society activism on nuclear weapons through a discursive strategy, borrowing self‐consciously from critical and post‐positivist international relations (IR) theories. ICAN aims to generate a new disarmament discourse that establishes nuclear weapons as inherently inhumane. Alongside the state‐led Humanitarian Initiative, ICAN campaigners are helping to reshape the conversation at certain international meetings on nuclear weapons. They have helped to contest the dominance of national security narratives and force even the nuclear‐armed states to address the humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapons. In supporting a reframing of the conversation, they have opened nuclear disarmament policy making to new voices. However, as with the transmission of many ideas from one arena to another – in this case from academia to global policy making forums – there is a translation process as ICAN campaigners selectively adopt from post‐positivist IR to meet their political goals. It is possible that this translation of critical theorizing into the setting of multilateral forums has necessitated reducing the potency of the disruptive critique of the original ideas.
