Vol. 19 No. 40 (2023): World Tensions

We dedicate this issue of World Tensions to the interdisciplinary academic debate on different forms of direct and structural violence. Our aim is to contribute to reflections on the current context of conflicts and oppressions within local, regional, and global scopes, with a focus on an agenda of international relations guided by notions of human collectives' right to life. The participants of this thematic edition have accepted the challenge of thinking critically in this period of growing uncertainty and catastrophe, that threaten to destroy life forms on the planet.
