The concept of political tourism is new to cultural and postcolonial studies. Nonetheless, it is a concept with major implications for scholarship.Political Tourism and Its Textslooks at the writings of political tourists, travellers who seek solidarity with international political struggles. With reference to the travel writing of, among others, Nancy Cunard, W.H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood, Ernesto Che Guevara, and Salman Rushdie, Maureen Moynagh demonstrates the ways in which political tourism can be a means of exploring the formation of transnational affiliations and commitments. Moynagh's aims are threefold. First, she looks at how these tourists create a sense of belonging to political struggles not their own and express their personal and political solidarity, despite the complexity of such cross-cultural relationships. Second, Moynagh analyses how these authors position their readers in relation to political movements, inviting a sense of responsibility for the struggles for social justice. Finally, the author situates key twentieth-century imperial struggles in relation to contemporary postcolonial and cultural studies theories of 'new' cosmopolitanism. Drawing on sociological, postcolonial, poststructuralist, and feminist theories,Political Tourism and Its Textsis at once an insightful study of modern writers and the causes that inspired them, and a call to address, with political urgency, contemporary neo-imperialism and the politics of global inequality.

Belgium was a major hub for transnational movements. By taking this small and yet significant European country as a focal point, the book critically examines major issues in modern history, including nationalism, colonial expansion, debates on the nature of international relations and campaigns for political and social equality.Now available in paperback, this study explores an age in which many groups and communities – from socialists to scientists – organised themselves across national borders. The timeframe covers the rise of international movements and associations before the First World War, the conflagration of 1914 and the emergence of new actors such as the League of Nations. The book acknowledges the changing framework for transnational activism, including its interplay with domestic politics and international institutions.By tracing international movements and ideas, the book aims to reveal and explain the multifarious and sometimes contradictory nature of internationalism.

Chronicling the emergence of an international society in the 1920s, Daniel Gorman describes how the shock of the First World War gave rise to a broad array of overlapping initiatives in international cooperation. Though national rivalries continued to plague world politics, ordinary citizens and state officials found common causes in politics, religion, culture and sport with peers beyond their borders. The League of Nations, the turn to a less centralized British Empire, the beginning of an international ecumenical movement, international sporting events and audacious plans for the abolition of war all signaled internationalism's growth. State actors played an important role in these developments and were aided by international voluntary organizations, church groups and international networks of academics, athletes, women, pacifists and humanitarian activists. These international networks became the forerunners of international NGOs and global governance.

The twentieth century, a time of profound disillusionment with nationalism, was also the great age of internationalism. To the twenty-first-century historian, the period from the late nineteenth century until the end of the Cold War is distinctive for its nationalist preoccupations, while internationalism is often construed as the purview of ideologues and idealists, a remnant of Enlightenment-era narratives of the progress of humanity into a global community. Glenda Sluga argues to the contrary, that the concepts of nationalism and internationalism were very much entwined throughout the twentieth century and mutually shaped the attitudes toward interdependence and transnationalism that influence global politics in the present day.Internationalism in the Age of Nationalismtraces the arc of internationalism through its rise before World War I, its apogee at the end of World War II, its reprise in the global seventies and the post-Cold War nineties, and its decline after 9/11. Drawing on original archival material and contemporary accounts, Sluga focuses on specific moments when visions of global community occupied the liberal political mainstream, often through the maneuvers of iconic organizations such as the League of Nations and the United Nations, which stood for the sovereignty of nation-states while creating the conditions under which marginalized colonial subjects and women could make their voices heard in an international arena. In this retelling of the history of the twentieth century, conceptions of sovereignty, community, and identity were the objects of trade and reinvention among diverse intellectual and social communities, and internationalism was imagined as the means of national independence and national rights, as well as the antidote to nationalism. This innovative history highlights the role of internationalism in the evolution of political, economic, social, and cultural modernity, and maps out a new way of thinking about the twentieth century.

A sweeping account of the rise and evolution of liberal internationalism in the modern era For two hundred years, the grand project of liberal internationalism has been to build a world order that is open, loosely rules-based, and oriented toward progressive ideas. Today this project is in crisis, threatened from the outside by illiberal challengers and from the inside by nationalist-populist movements. This timely book offers the first full account of liberal internationalism's long journey from its nineteenth-century roots to today's fractured political moment. Creating an international \"space\" for liberal democracy, preserving rights and protections within and between countries, and balancing conflicting values such as liberty and equality, openness and social solidarity, and sovereignty and interdependence-these are the guiding aims that have propelled liberal internationalism through the upheavals of the past two centuries. G. John Ikenberry argues that in a twenty-first century marked by rising economic and security interdependence, liberal internationalism-reformed and reimagined-remains the most viable project to protect liberal democracy.

Before communism, anarchism and syndicalism were central to labour and the Left in the colonial and postcolonial world.Using studies from Africa,Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America, this groundbreaking volume examines the revolutionary libertarian Left's class politics and anti-colonialism in the first globalization and imperialism(1870/1930).

Understood broadly as a kind of language contact, translation plays a considerable role both in the construction of internationalized lexis and in our study of it. Translations are often the site of the earliest attested or pivotal use of interlingual lexical transfers (“loanwords”); in the most radical case, actual lexical creation originates within translational practice itself. Renée Balibar’s notion of colingualism offers a compelling alternative to borrowing and translanguaging as a way of explaining internationalisms. Case studies on internationalisms coined in the late nineteenth century ( sodomy as ‘bestiality’, sapphism , uranism/uranist ) exemplify a lexicological approach to translation analysis that focuses on explaining how the lexical types found in specific translations relate to the larger internal lexical structure of a language. The semantic field of historical queerness is only an example: the translational analytical approach demonstrated here can be applied to the lexicological study of any vocabulary informed by language contact. La traduction, entendue au sens large comme une sorte de contact linguistique, joue un rôle important à la fois dans la construction d’un lexique internationalisé et dans l’étude linguistique de celui-ci. Les traductions sont souvent le lieu où figurent les premières attestations ou des attestations charnières de transferts lexicaux interlangagiers (« emprunts ») ; dans le cas le plus extrême, l’innovation lexicale trouve son origine dans la pratique de la traduction elle-même. La notion de colinguisme, proposée par Renée Balibar, offre une alternative probante aux cadres de l’emprunt et du translangage pour expliquer l’existence des internationalismes. Trois études de cas autour de mots qui apparaissent en tant qu’internationalismes à la fin du XIX e  siècle ( sodomie ‘bestialité’, saphisme , uranisme/uraniste ) servent ici à illustrer une approche lexicologique de l’analyse traductologique qui vise à démontrer comment les types lexicaux trouvés dans des traductions données sont en rapport avec la structure lexicale interne d’une langue. Le champ sémantique queer historique ne sert ici que d’exemple : l’analyse traductologique peut s’appliquer à l’étude lexicologique de tout vocabulaire influencé par le contact linguistique. La traducción, concebida en sentido amplio como un tipo de contacto lingüístico, juega un papel importante tanto en la construcción de un léxico internacionalizado como en su estudio lingüístico. Las traducciones son a menudo el lugar en el que aparecen los primeros testimonios, o de los testimonios fundamentales, de las transferencias léxicas interlingüísticas (“préstamos”); en el caso más extremo, la innovación léxica tiene su origen en la propia práctica de la traducción. La noción de colingüismo, elaborada por Renée Balibar, ofrece una alternativa convincente al los marcos del préstamo y del translenguaje como modo de explicar los internacionalismos. Tres estudios de caso de internacionalismos acuñados a finales del siglo XIX ( sodomía ‘bestialismo’, safismo , uranismo/uranista ) sirven para ilustrar un enfoque lexicológico del análisis traductológico que se propone demostrar cómo los tipos léxicos encontrados en determinadas traducciones se relacionan con la estructura léxica interna de una lengua. El campo semántico queer histórico sirve aquí sólo como ejemplo: el análisis traductológico puede aplicarse al estudio lexicológico de cualquier vocabulario afectado por el contacto lingüístico.

The Rights of Others examines the boundaries of political community by focusing on political membership - the principles and practices for incorporating aliens and strangers, immigrants and newcomers, refugees and asylum seekers into existing polities. Boundaries define some as members, others as aliens. But when state sovereignty is becoming frayed, and national citizenship is unravelling, definitions of political membership become much less clear. Indeed few issues in world politics today are more important, or more troubling. In her Seeley Lectures, the distinguished political theorist Seyla Benhabib makes a powerful plea, echoing Immanuel Kant, for moral universalism and cosmopolitan federalism. She advocates not open but porous boundaries, recognising both the admittance rights of refugees and asylum seekers, but also the regulatory rights of democracies. The Rights of Others is a major intervention in contemporary political theory, of interest to large numbers of students and specialists in politics, law, philosophy and international relations.

InOut of Oakland, Sean L. Malloy explores the evolving internationalism of the Black Panther Party (BPP); the continuing exile of former members, including Assata Shakur, in Cuba is testament to the lasting nature of the international bonds that were forged during the party's heyday. Founded in Oakland, California, in October 1966 by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, the BPP began with no more than a dozen members. Focused on local issues, most notably police brutality, the Panthers patrolled their West Oakland neighborhood armed with shotguns and law books. Within a few years, the BPP had expanded its operations into a global confrontation with what Minister of Information Eldridge Cleaver dubbed \"the international pig power structure.\" p>Malloy traces the shifting intersections between the black freedom struggle in the United States, Third World anticolonialism, and the Cold War. By the early 1970s, the Panthers had chapters across the United States as well as an international section headquartered in Algeria and support groups and emulators as far afield as England, India, New Zealand, Israel, and Sweden. The international section served as an official embassy for the BPP and a beacon for American revolutionaries abroad, attracting figures ranging from Black Power skyjackers to fugitive LSD guru Timothy Leary. Engaging directly with the expanding Cold War, BPP representatives cultivated alliances with the governments of Cuba, North Korea, China, North Vietnam, and the People's Republic of the Congo as well as European and Japanese militant groups and the Palestinian Liberation Organization. In an epilogue, Malloy directly links the legacy of the BPP to contemporary questions raised by the Black Lives Matter movement.
