Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What is...the Arms Trade?
Q: What is the Arms Trade, and how did you become interested in studying it?
The guest explains that the technical definition is insufficient and introduces a broader concept—the circulation of technologies of armed violence. She traces her path from NGO work to academia, emphasizing how practical engagement with arms export controls led to long-term research and ultimately to her first book on NGO strategies in relation to the arms trade.
What is...Green Militarism?
Q: What theories are drawn on in researching green militarism?
The guest explains a blend of political ecology, environmental history, and post-colonial IR, emphasizing how power, profit, and geopolitical interests shape conservation practices, while also incorporating lived experiences and indigenous perspectives to ground theory.
In Conversation with Daniel Quiroga-Villamarín
Q: And with that, to my first question. And this might be an obvious first question, but why this focus on the architecture of international law?
The guest explains that architecture is polysemic—encompassing physical buildings, treaties, and theoretical frameworks—and the project aims to show how these three visions converge and conflict across time and space, affecting our understanding of democracy and the international order.
Why is...Denmark unwelcoming to Refugees?
Q: Is there any resistance or forms of activism challenging these policies?
There are small-scale acts of resistance and discretion at the frontline and within private companies' diversity programs, where some managers leverage inclusion efforts to support refugees, even as public policy tilts toward stricter controls. Yet broader resistance is constrained by political and administrative power.
Why is...Denmark unwelcoming to Refugees?
Q: What are the concrete impacts on refugees, welfare professionals, and employers?
Refugees face persistent uncertainty, limited access to education and work, and social isolation; welfare professionals endure heightened managerial oversight and limited discretion; employers are drawn into integration efforts and may benefit from skilled refugees but confront systemic barriers to recognition of qualifications. These dynamics create a reinforced cycle of constraint and marginalization.
