How else to make sense of Western opposition to Russia\u2019s imperial designs on Ukraine and simultaneous support for Israel\u2019s ongoing colonial (or necropolitical) rule over Palestinian territories and lives? Or 32 Western countries\u2019 co-sponsorship of Ukraine\u2019s case against Russia under the Genocide Convention at the ICJ, while withholding (or at best, tepidly endorsing) a similar commitment to rules-based international order in South Africa\u2019s case against Israel under the same convention? Beyond these colonial-imperial aporias, my intervention will explore whether such legitimate postcolonial concerns over life and death may yet be obscuring larger \u201cgeontopolitical\u201d challenges of the Desert, the Virus, and the Animist at the boundary of life and nonlife (Povinelli 2016) looming in the background and the future of current geopolitical conflicts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Liberal international order, colonial-imperial aporias, and geontopower\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/492cfkyQhvU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Political Science Workshop: The Grand Split?
