Did you know that e-IR features regular reviews of books and articles which fall under the remit of international politics? If you feel inspired to write a review of something you are reading/have read, we would be happy to consider it for the site.
U.S. Legislation Could Shut Down the Internet
Hopefully, Congress will come to its senses and PIPA and SOPA will be defeated. If not, President Obama should announce his intentions to veto both, and the White House should announce a plan to tackle the very real issues of online piracy and intellectual property theft.
Cultural symbols, biocolonialism and the commodification of rural and indigenous bodies
The world’s most powerful institutions and corporations are now interested in subaltern people, because they represent a commercial “opportunity”.
Notice: Website Upgrades

Casualties of the Digital Revolution
Many have heralded the Internet as a life-enhancing medium that promotes citizen empowerment beyond the borders of nation states. Whilst there has been much talk about the beneficiaries of this revolution, there has been something of a hesitance to name the casualties.

While few tears will be shed for Gaddafi’s loss, might his death turn out to be a curse in disguise? Will the loss of their common enemy lead the Libyan rebel forces to unravel? And, if things do fall apart in Libya, how will this affect the Arab spring in other countries?
Do Not Celebrate the Death of a Dictator
My blood curdled upon seeing images of a dying Gaddafi. So begins the new Libya, drenched in blood, celebrating the death of its 40-year dictator. I am no apologist for the butchers of 9/11, the rapists of Misrata, or the killers of innocent men, women and children worldwide. But I cannot bring myself to glorify death.
