Description
Planetary politics or planet politics is a significant emerging agenda today, not just in International Relations theory and academia more widely but also in concrete activism for new ways of doing politics on a troubled planet. But what is meant by planet/ary politics and what are its implications for redirecting politics and international relations as we know them? What kinds of constellations of actors, agencies and politics arise around planet/ary politics? What are the implications for who speaks, how we relate to others, where we do politics and how? And what kinds of contestations and debates structure the theory and practice of planetary politics?
This roundtable, linked to another proposed panel 'Planetary Politics I More-than-human and multispecies interventions in IR' brings together a range of scholars who have been shaping the agenda of planetary politics, planetary thinking and planetarity in different ways to answer such questions and to unpack the implications for the study of International Relations.
