Cyprus in the New World Disorder: Resisting the Logic of “Geopolitics”

Since 7 October 2023, Cyprus has moved from the margins of Middle Eastern conflict into its operational geography. British bases on the island have supported Israeli and US military activity across the region; the Republic of Cyprus has expanded defence cooperation with the United States, Israel, France, and Greece; and Northern Cyprus has been integrated more deeply into Turkey’s military (…)

When Peoples Fall Asleep

When the acclaimed actor, Richard Gere, recently described Donald Trump as a "maniac" and lamented that the United States was experiencing one of its darkest moments, he added a remark that deserves particular attention: "We went to sleep.

Theory After Gaza: Decolonizing the Political

I want to make three points at the outset that work as premises or presuppositions for this presentation as well as for the larger work. My first claim is that while the formal discourse of political theory keeps our gaze resolutely fixed on nation-states and Law, justice and citizenship as embodying modernity’s emancipatory promise, Gaza/Palestine direct our attention to the fact that the (…)

Ahmad My Friend, My Comrade

It has taken me a week to gather my thoughts, to get over the initial shock of your death. I cannot do you justice in this writing, but I hope it’s a start. I’m still in shock, crying, disbelief.

Senegal Is in the World Cup but Hardly Made Welcome

One of Africa’s top teams, Senegal has good reason to look forward to the World Cup. But the US government has put up major barriers to its fans and journalists visiting the country, in a policy of deep discrimination against Senegalese citizens. He’s frustrated, but he’s keeping in his anger. Abdoulaye — the pseudonym of a famous Senegalese journalist who spoke to Jacobin — just doesn’t (…)

Mad King Trump Refuses to Quit, Netanyahu Compounds the Folly and Modi Silently Swallows Insults

Analysts of the US-Israeli unprovoked and blatantly illegal attack on Iran on Feb 28, while US-Iranian negotiations brokered by Oman were ongoing, have concluded that the assault has failed to achieve any of its objectives. Iran, despite suffering significant losses, is now acknowledged to be in a stronger position compared to the assailants as its closure of the Strait of Hormuz threatens to (…)

Populism and the Erosion of the Public Sphere

Robert A. Heinlein, an American novelist and political thinker, argues that political labels such as democrat, communist, fascist, liberal, or conservative are not fundamental criteria for distinguishing citizens politically; rather, humanity is divided between those who seek to dominate others and those who do not. This reduction of political life to a fundamental asymmetry of domination (…)
