- Tim Dunne is Executive Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences and Professor of International Relations... moreTim Dunne is Executive Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences and Professor of International Relations (IR) at The University of Queensland (UQ). He is also a Senior Researcher at the Asia Pacific Centre for the Responsibility to Protect (AP R2P). Previously he was Director of Research for AP R2P from 2010-2014.
Prior to moving to Queensland, he was Professor of International Relations, Head of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, then Dean of the Social Sciences at the University of Exeter, from 2003-2010. He began his career at the University of Wales in Aberystwyth, famous for being the oldest and one of the very best departments of IR in the world.
In his research, Tim has sought to make a contribution to the following areas of IR scholarship: first, he has advanced the claim – now widely accepted – that the study of international society constitutes a distinct perspective in the field (see his 1998 book); second, he has sought to bridge normative theory and foreign policy; third, with Ken Booth he has written and edited two books (2002, 2012) that examine how far 9/11 changed the configuration of world order. He is a widely published author, having authored and edited ten books and over fifty articles and chapters.edit

How is it that internationalism has become the dominant form of statecraft pursued by liberal states and by international organisations, and yet it has received relatively scant attention in International Relations (IR) both historically and conceptually? It is time that the field addressed the paucity of writings on an institutionalised idea that has shaped order-building for more than two centuries. The article opens with a consideration of internationalism and its status in political theory and IR, arguing that a variety of different configurations have taken hold in different historical moments. We then consider the coexistence of internationalism and imperialism as an illustration of how the ambiguities and tensions in liberal statecraft can be manifested. The article closes with a consideration of the international normative order-building that has taken place after 1945 and the critical issue of the resilience of liberal internationalism given the ‘crisis’ identified with it. For all its dangers and dilemmas, we make the case for engaging the politics of liberal internationalism as a site in which normative and practical concerns of global politics meet, and in which the calls to protect the interests of national communities are mediated by the imperative of ‘purposes beyond ourselves’.

This article examines the extent to which international society has been able to accommodate challenges such as the mid twentieth century ‘revolt against the West’ and the twenty-first-century rise of new (especially non-Western) great powers. The Bandung conference of 1955 has commonly been seen as posing a threat to the fabric of international society by proliferating cultural and political differences. The authors show, on the contrary, that the political project of anti-colonialism and peaceful coexistence expressed at Bandung was actually consistent with a pluralist conception of international society, even if Western powers and intellectuals at the time failed to notice. The non-Western countries represented at Bandung were intent on expunging international society of the structures and practices of racism and colonialism so as to strengthen the foundations of a pluralistic international society better able to accommodate cultural and political differences.
