Revolution & Resistance in World Politics

2018 CONFERENCE PROGRAMME • 27-28 OCTOBER 2018

Millennium: Journal of International Studies

Revolution and resistance have been central to the making and remaking, imagining and reimagining of world politics: from Haiti, Russia and Cuba to the feminist, decolonial and civil rights movements. Core features of international relations cannot be understood without due attention to revolutionary politics and resistance movements. The study of revolution and resistance is of increasing contemporary relevance. Uprisings like the ‘Arab Spring’ and movements like Black Lives Matter, Women's March Global and the anti-austerity movement demonstrate a revival of organised resistance, while the global rise of counter-revolutionary and authoritarian politics reveal the contested nature of world politics, from the United States to the Middle East. Do these developments signal a new ‘Age of Revolution’? The 2018 Millennium conference aims to foster cross-disciplinary conversations and dialogue between scholars and activists about the international dimensions of revolution and resistance in the 21st century. Questions to be explored at the conference include: How can we theorise the relationship between revolution and resistance? Is it possible, or desirable, to translate the ‘micro-politics’ of resistance into large-scale revolutionary change? What is the role of (non-)violence in revolution and resistance? What accounts for the success and failure of specific revolutions and resistance movements? Must revolutions be progressive? What is the relationship between revolution and counter-revolution? Can neoliberalism be understood as revolutionary? How can the study of revolution and resistance illuminate transformations of international order? How do different transnational hierarchies – class, gender, race – shape the aims and practices of resistance and revolution? Under what conditions may scholarship constitute resistance? What are the ethics involved in the study of resistance?

The cover artwork for this year's conference is The Second Situation by Geng Jianyi, courtesy of the M+ Sigg Collection, Hong Kong. Born in 1962, Geng was affiliated with China’s avant-garde ’85 New Wave movement. His body of work spans a wide range of media and often explores the theme of identity. In The Second Situation four individual oil studies of a face are presented in a tetraptych, reminiscent of a strip of photos. Together they capture variations on the face mid-laugh. The cause and nature of the laughter is ambiguous and the tetraptych contains an unsettled tension. The work challenges the viewer and gestures at the thin expressive line between amusement and anger. Geng Jianyi passed away in 2017. Geng Jianyi.

2018 CONFERENCE THEME

COVER DESIGN NOTE

Dear Conference Delegates, We are very excited to welcome you to the LSE and the 2018 Millennium Conference for what promises to be an engaging and challenging series of debates and discussions. Millennium: Journal of International Studies is a peer-reviewed and highly ranked journal of international studies which is edited entirely by postgraduate students. Since its founding in 1971 by F.S. Northedge, it has been committed to critically transforming the field of international studies by publishing provocative and original scholarship concerned with the politics of the international, especially that which engages with theoretical perspectives or subject matter rarely seen in International Relations. We welcome contributions from a variety of perspectives which challenge dominant narratives, from research students and early-career researchers as well as from established scholars. It is a great honour and privilege for us to be able to host such a range of illustrious speakers and presenters. We owe much to the hard work and brilliance of previous editors of Millennium over the decades, and those who have contributed to its pages. We hope that you will enjoy and find food for thought in our conference as much as we have in previous conferences. Yours sincerely, Mia Certo, Joseph Leigh, Adrian Rogstad Editors, Millennium Vol. 47
