AUTHOR: R. B. J. (Rob) Walker has been teaching at the University of Victoria since 1980 and is a founding member of the Graduate Program in Cultural, Political and Social Thought. He teaches primarily in the field of political theory, focusing especially on the texts of Machiavelli, Hobbes and Kant, and various critical currents of contemporary political and cultural thought. His research interests range widely: the practices of spatiotemporality at work in modern politics; theories of modernity; claims to sovereign authority and the relation between specifically modern forms of sovereignty and subjectivity; relations between liberty and security and claims about new forms of insecurity; claims about transformations of international and global order; social movements and democratic theory; practices of governmentality; the rearticulation of political boundaries.... He has written most persistently about these themes through an analysis of the relation between politics within states and politics between states. Here he has argued that traditions of political theory or international relations theory that ignore this relationship necessarily work less as scholarship than as practices of legitimation.
