“…The formative debates in international relations revolved around the values, interests and strategies of states, and the prospects for international collaboration. Whereas the liberal school holds that peaceful cooperation between states can be built on the basis of universal democratic values and converging interests, the realist school argues that international relations are defined by conflicts of interest between power-seeking states (Burchill et al, 2009).…”

“…and domestic non-state actors and priorities (e.g., "free trade") in shaping foreign policy goals. Liberalism, linked to idealist notions (e.g., humanitarianism), espouses inter-state cooperation 33 . Institutionalism draws from both theories, recognizing the potential compatibility of self-interest and international cooperation.…”

South-South cooperation in health: bringing in theory, politics, history, and social justice

2017

Since the mid-2000s, the practice of South-South cooperation in health (SSC) has attracted growing attention among policymakers, health and foreign affairs ministries, global health agencies, and scholars from a range of fields. But the South-South label elucidates little about the actual content of the cooperation and conflates the “where” with the “who, what, how, and why”. While there have been some attempts to theorize global health diplomacy and South-South cooperation generally, these efforts do not sufficiently distinguish among the different kinds of practices and political values that fall under the South-South rubric, ranging from economic and geopolitical interests to social justice forms of solidarity. In the spirit of deepening theoretical, historical, and social justice analyses of SSC, this article: (1) critically revisits international relations theories that seek to explain SSC, exploring Marxian and other heterodox theories ignored in the mainstream literature; (2) traces the historical provenance of a variety of forms of SSC; and (3) introduces the concept of social justice-oriented South-South.

“…Referring to the approaches towards international relations, the researches of the first wave of security studies have started from the premise that since states can never be sure of the future intentions of other states, a lack of trust in all the "unities" of the international system takes shape and is perpetuated. This lack of trust based on uncertainty is called "security dilemma" (Burchill, et al, 2005).…”

“…The external balance is centered on the affiliation of the state to different alliances with the goal to counterbalance the power of other states. (Burchill, et al, 2005). On the background of the development of the second stage of security studies, a defining approach of the security in relation to the scientific society -that of the Copenhagen School -is shaped in the year 1983.…”

“…These polemics were certainly influenced also by the conceptual and methodological groundwork of security in connection to international relations. Often regarded as the youngest branch of international relations (Burchill, et al, 2005), the discipline of security studies has developed on the ground laid by international relations (Walt S. M., 1991). The limits and boundaries between international relations and security have not been regarded as impermeable and this has lead to using concepts from international relations into the study of security.…”

Abstract:The purpose of this article is to provide details about the results of the research obtained in the sphere of security theories analysis and in the direction of identifying certain elements of content for an approach of security starting from the idea of poiesis. By analyzing the theories one can notice that they lack the capacity of anticipating the evolution of succesive statuses of security. On this background, the proposed approach of security starts from the use of poiesis in this field with the aim of identifying the moments of creation, evolution, developement, change and balance that state entities form, irrespective of the security's object of reference or of its subdomain of origin. The employment of poiesis in the field of security has lead to the understanding and description of the relationship between risks, vulnerabilities, threats, dangers and opportunities. Last but not least, by means of this article, one wishes to underline the importance of RVTP-O analysis alongside the anapoietic feature in securiting a state.
