  A New Cold War?

  Vol. 20 No. 2 (2025)

  While the decay of the old order is evident, a distinct new order has yet to emerge. With a history of excellence in regional studies and social science, St. Antony’s College—the home of this journal for twenty years—has long contributed to envisioning the future of the international order. In St. Antony’s College’s inaugural Margaret MacMillan North American lecture, Richard Haass, president emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations, outlined several possibilities for how Gramscian “monsters” would jostle in a world beyond Pax Americana. These included a U.S. attempt to restore its primacy, the transition of global leadership to another power, the division of the world into spheres of influence, or descent into chaos and disorder. These possibilities offer much to consider as we anticipate and shape the new world we are entering.

  Fascism

  Vol. 20 No. 1 (2024)

  In orienting the Theme Section around the subject of “Fascism” we have aimed to simultaneously move beyond and welcome disagreement about the precise meaning of that word. We regard the very fact that the word ‘fascism’ is being used in political and scholarly circles alike with growing frequency and urgency a subject of interest in International Affairs unto itself. By “Fascism,” we refer to a series of contemporary developments in right wing mass politics originating following the Global Financial Crisis. Whether best exemplified by right-wing political leaders with distinctly populist political brands (Donald Trump, Nigel Farage, Jair Bolsonaro, Vladimir Putin, etc.), growing mainstream disillusionment with hallmark virtues and institutions of liberal democracy, or other emblems and events (see this issue’s cover for a rather strange syncretism), we imagine nearly all readers and authors of this issue will implicitly recognize what this issue is about even if they disagree about what it is that is taking place before them.
