This article argues for several shifts in perspective in order to advance a comparative, transnational account of how gender, race, ethnicity, class and nation align in practice to overcome insularity and particularism inherent to many extant intersectional theories. An extensive review of feminist theories finds that much US scholarship decontextualizes intersectionality, takingfor-granted the...

This case study examines Marca Chile’s nation branding campaign “Chile Que te Quiero” (Chile, I Really Love You). The campaign, that ran between 2016 and 2018, aimed to facilitate dialogue among Chileans around their shared national symbols, traditions, cultural artifacts cocreate meaning brand. In this article, we propose professionals working in campaigns should act as facilitators of differe...

Historically, issues of gender, race and the environment have received little attention in mainstream International Relations (IR) scholarship. Great strides have been made, however, in interrogating the inadequacies of the field in these areas and, similarly, in demonstrating the necessity of expanded definitions of security and violence in IR. Despite these strides, mainstream environmental s...

Online video, a ubiquitous, visual, and highly shareable medium, is well-suited to crossing geographic, cultural, and linguistic barriers. Trending videos in particular, by virtue of reaching a large number of viewers in a short span of time, are powerful as both influencers and indicators of international communication flows. In this work, we study a large set of videos trending across 57 nati...

in this paper, we study the plasmonic thermal conductance of ordered stacks of metallic nanorings in a host material. using second quantized formalism of the random phase approximation, we first determine the dispersion relations of surface plasmon waves on the stacks of nanorings. then, using landauer-buttiker formalism, we determine the coefficient of plasmonic thermal conductance and heat cu...

Endowing agents that prefer cooperative outcomes with asymmetric power substantially increase the chances that both cooperative agents survive and that cooperative worlds evolve across a variety of structural settings of conflict and cooperation present in international relations; particularly when agents are endowed with the ability to selectively interact with other agents. These results are ...

Does the European Union (EU) represent a new political order replacing the old nation-states? The assessment of the real character of political orders requires the identification of political key actors and of the specific structure of their interactions. Transgovernmental networks have been considered to be one of the most important features of EU integration. Unfortunately, the network struct...
