Rationale
Inspired by recent events, an emerging body of critical scholarship in international relations, political economy and social theory has increasingly challenged several orthodox economic and security-related paradigms. In a moment where economists start acknowledging the role of institutions and path dependency in economic performance (see Acemoglu and Robinson: Why Nations Fail), recent events have challenged the Weberian concepts of the state (insurgency and informality, failed states, de facto states, global and multi-level governance, the role of non-state actors) and policy research has been increasingly focusing on the role of non-political and non-politicised actors.

In addition, inspired by Wendt's social theory of IR, a body of scholarship has emerged in these fields, rediscovering the role of perception and identity while introducing a critical perspective influenced by the Habermasian and Foucauldian traditions, as well as by post-colonialism and anti-hegemonic thinking. Such critical approaches face nevertheless their own dilemmas, as their engagement with policy-making often leads to the subversion of the principles they expose. Moreover, existing institutions and governance structures have proved limited vis-à-vis the fast-evolving challenges to national and transnational communities. Recent research has also developed on "real governance" that subverts traditional approaches by looking openly at the variety of agents influencing governance and its perception.

Starting from the above points, the debates invited by this section are three-fold:

(i) the potential for interdisciplinary readings of the international system;
(ii) the importance and limitations of critical approaches in IR;
(iii) and the interlinkages between power, markets and states in a highly contested international context.
