Crisis and the Global Political Economy of Sexual and Reproductive Health
Authors: Tanyag Maria 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Chapter 1 provides the theoretical background to the book and discusses its synthesis of different feminist perspectives to explain the global political economy of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in crisis settings. The chapter draws on analysis of women’s bodies and social reproduction in the Philippines to unpack the neoliberal logic of depletion and its main elements. Social reproduction, and women’s bodies in particular, enables the material conditions for both violence and peace. This chapter lays the conceptual and analytical foundations to the central claim advanced in this book—restrictions to SRHR are not incidental but rather integral to the reproduction of a patriarchal global order.
The Household as a Site of Depletion
Authors: Tanyag Maria 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Chapter 2 examines the household as the first site of bodily depletion. Feminist research in international relations (IR) has emphasized how gender relations beginning in the household are causal to more global forms of violence and insecurity. This chapter uses examples of displacements, both protracted and rapid onset, in the Philippines to show how crisis is embodied by the intensification of women’s care and domestic work and their related exposure to forms of sexual and gender-based violence. Illustrating the connections between women’s status within the household and macro-level political and economic processes is critical to challenging misconceptions regarding sexual and reproductive health as narrowly about family planning, maternal and child health, or responsible parenthood as opposed to the more expansive framework of bodily autonomy.
The Global Crisis of Religious Fundamentalisms
Authors: Tanyag Maria 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Chapter 5 turns to the drivers of bodily depletion at the global level by examining the role of religious fundamentalisms. Religious fundamentalist actors are not simply reactionary. They have evolved their own global political project and constitute a growing influence in crisis settings. Fundamentalist actors are brought together by a shared resistance to the rights of the body, sexuality, and pleasure—the encapsulation of all that goes against their pro-family, pro-life and pro-tradition agenda. Religious fundamentalists have developed an agenda framed by the language of “pro-life,” “traditional values,” and “protection of the family” at global and national levels, and established crisis and emergencies as vital fronts in opposing sexual and reproductive freedoms. This chapter draws on evidence from the Philippines to show how Filipino Catholic fundamentalist forces tied to a global Christian Right have been afforded windows of opportunity to promote a “pro-life” agenda and thereby restrict rights to bodily autonomy. It concludes with reflections on feminist strategies to overcome this imbrication of neoliberalism and religious fundamentalisms in an increasingly crisis-prone world.
High Wire
Authors: Zhang Angela Huyue 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This book introduces a new analytical framework, the “dynamic pyramid model,” to analyze China’s unique regulatory model. The model comprises three critical features: hierarchy, volatility, and fragility—depicting the structure, process, and potential outcomes of China’s regulatory system, respectively. These three features, interconnected through intricate feedback loops, form an extensive network, effectively representing the regulatory dynamics in China. By employing China’s tech crackdown from 2020 to 2022 as a comprehensive case study, the book illuminates how the dynamic pyramid model has affected a broad spectrum of legal domains such as antitrust, data, and labor enforcement in China. It further delves into how platforms strategically self-regulate in the shadow of this regulatory system. Meanwhile, comparative exploration of the evolving regulatory landscapes in the United States and the European Union demonstrates that China grapples with many similar regulatory issues as its Western counterparts, while also shedding light on the future trajectory of China’s legal developments. Furthermore, the book finds that the tech crackdown has resulted in a significant shift in power dynamics between businesses and the Chinese state, leading to the retreat of the private sector and the emergence of the administrative state. The book concludes with some measured predictions of China’s future tech governance, focusing on its recent initiative to regulate the rapidly expanding field of generative artificial intelligence.
Ubiquitous Violence
Authors: Villarreal Ana 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines factors that converged when Mexican President Calderón took office and launched a “war on drug trafficking”: intensified binational drug-prohibition policies; shifts in Mexican state-criminal relations; the restructuring of the global cocaine market; the widespread availability of US-manufactured guns at the border; and more brutal groups of organized crime relying on terror to assert territory. As a violent turf war escalated across the Monterrey Metropolitan Area, kidnapping and extortion became widespread among wealthy and poor. Marginalized youth were the worst hit, both criminalized and forcibly recruited into organized crime. Such ubiquitous violence, paired with widespread impunity, prompted fear in all spheres of everyday life.
The Logistics of Fear
Authors: Villarreal Ana 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This chapter provides examples of new logistics of fear developed amid rising violence, focusing on recalibrating and regrouping strategies. Reinforcing, relocating, and rescheduling practices are examined in later chapters. Crime stories circulating through social networks carried more weight than media reports, prompting locals to believe that they could “be next.” As kidnapping and extortion soared, wealthy and poor alike recommended others to lower their profile. Recalibrating included adopting discrete consumption practices like downgrading cars and clothing, as well as stripping themselves from professional identifiers. What constituted a low profile varied, but all social classes sought to become invisible. People regrouped through leaning into the safety of numbers in everyday transportation for work, school, and leisure. All tried to recalibrate and regroup, though not all could. Fear deepened the preexisting criminalization of young, poor, dark-skinned men.
Grey Zone Conflict and Military Affairs
Authors: Sisson Melanie W. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Since 2012, China, Russia, and others increasingly have undertaken creative diplomatic, legal, and military manoeuvres that challenge the standard operating assumptions and procedures of the United States and other liberal democracies. The result has been a rapid and thorough attachment to the notion of ‘grey zone conflict’. Too little attention, however, has been given to assessing whether the behaviours generally covered by the grey zone umbrella truly demand special treatment intellectually. It is far from clear that aggregating responses to the broad set of State behaviours and contexts within which they occur under a unifying grey zone strategy is useful conceptually or practically. This chapter therefore forwards the alternative: the null hypothesis that grey zone conflict is not new and does not require the development of novel military concepts, tactics, or strategies. It argues that the United States in particular already has at its disposal means of addressing these challenges.
Legal Aspects of Grey Zone and Hybrid Threats
Authors: Nasu Hitoshi 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Is legal uncertainty within the existing structure of international law truly responsible for a grey zone that hostile actors can exploit by employing hybrid tactics? This chapter argues that the ability of hostile actors to exploit a grey zone by employing hybrid tactics does not derive from legal lacunae in which they can operate with impunity but rather represents structural problems of international law. The chapter critically considers how the existing structure of international law contributes to the growth of hybrid threats as a strategic choice of hostile actors, causing law-abiding states to suffer a disadvantage to the detriment of their security.
A Topography of Information-Based Foreign Influence
Authors: Cibralic Beba 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
In this chapter, I explore information-based influence in the context of epistemic security. My aim is to provide a topography of landscape and an assessment of how best to conceptualize contested terms in the discourse on influence. I begin with a foundational question: what is information-based foreign influence? I answer this question in section 2 with a structure that helps make sense of different activities and campaigns associated with information-based influence, which I refer to as ‘lines of effort’. I then compare different kinds of lines of effort: influence operations, information campaigns, psychological operations, information operations, reflexive control, social engineering, and foreign influence efforts. In section 3–6, I examine four core concepts in the discourse—propaganda, disinformation, narratives, and mediatization—and consider their epistemic consequences. I also evaluate how we ought to understand these concepts for analytical purposes. I conclude by summarizing the upshots of the arguments and offering suggestions for future research.
Decoding Grey Zone Environments
Authors: Mosquera and Andrés B. Muñoz , Chalanouli Nikoleta 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Today, grey zone activities undermine the legitimacy of democratic institutions, disrupt social cohesion, and risk wearing down societies and their way of life. Identifying grey zone activities and the threats they pose is key to developing resilience. To assist with this process, the chapter reflects on what the grey zone is, its nature and characteristics, and why this concept should be considered in conjunction with that of hybrid warfare. The chapter then turns to exploring some of the key instruments of grey zone competition, illustrating the range of methods and means employed in this area by reviewing and comparing the approach taken by selected grey zone aggressors. Based on this, the chapter identifies additional lessons and implications of grey zone competition, before offering some concluding observations.
Trapped in the Grey Zone
Authors: Kleczkowska Agata 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The term ‘hybrid warfare’ not only describes actions which combine different techniques and tools of combat, but also denotes the involvement of States and non-State actors (NSAs) in hostile activities. The aim of the chapter is to review the international legal norms applicable to NSAs. The chapter is divided into two parts: the first part discusses the legal framework applicable to NSAs acting independently from States. It focuses on three categories of NSAs—individuals, armed non-State actors, and transnational corporations. The second part concerns States’ responsibility for the actions of their proxies. It concludes that due to the ambiguities in the rules of attribution of responsibility, as well as imprecise treaty norms, States may evade responsibility for their proxies’ actions.
The Practice of Legal Resilience
Authors: Mazel Marlene 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
In today’s world, conflict is no longer restricted to military combat on the traditional battlefield. Over the past two decades, there has been an increase in the use of legal terminology and proceedings by States, non-State actors, non-governmental organizations, and other actors to achieve tactical and strategic goals, often termed ‘lawfare’. The use of lawfare may compromise not only the national security of States but also the fundamental integrity of international and domestic legal institutions and the rule of law. This chapter provides a practitioner’s perspective regarding the use of the legal domain both on and off the kinetic battlefield. It describes how operational legal tools were and are continued to be strategically employed by Israel’s adversaries to promote their political and military agenda, using the 31 May 2010 maritime incident as an illustrative case study. The chapter concludes with some insights drawn from Israel’s experience with lawfare.
Building Academic Communities
Authors: Marsden George M. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This chapter argues that contemporary Christian scholarship will not realize its potential unless it can establish a strong institutional base. Isolated individuals in university culture can make impressive efforts here and there, but unless their voices are concerted, they will be lost in the general cacophony of the contemporary academy. Scholars, like everyone else, depend on communities. If like-minded academics do not form their own sub-communities, then they will be dependent entirely on the communities that already exist. These, of course, have little place for inquiry concerning faith and learning. If such inquiry is to grow as a recognized part of contemporary academia, it must depend on institutions and networks which can sustain that enterprise.
Introduction
Authors: Vallor Shannon 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This chapter explains how today’s powerful AI technologies work like mirrors designed to show us who we are, and who we will become, while threatening the very self-knowledge and possibilities for the future that they promise to reveal. The companies that forge our data into these mirrors market them as windows into our future, predicting what we will do, what we will say, what we will consume, and what we will believe. Yet as this chapter explains, because the data used to make these predictions reflect the unsustainable patterns of our past, these mirrors don’t foretell the future; in fact, they endanger it. Dispelling overhyped fears of our extinction at the hands of malevolent AI overlords, this chapter outlines the real existential threat to our humanity posed by our increasingly distorted relationships to these tools. Taking inspiration from ancient mythology and modern philosophy, this chapter is a call to reclaim the humane potential of AI technologies—and our ability to make our own futures—by refusing to be captured in their frame.
The AI Mirror
Authors: Vallor Shannon 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This chapter outlines the history of artificial intelligence, from ancient attempts to construct machines that would mirror and mimic sounds and movements of living creatures; to the twentieth-century birth of AI as a scientific research program; to the latest advances in deep learning, large language models, and generative artificial intelligence; to dreams of building human-like machine minds or artificial general intelligence (AGI). The chapter explores differences between “artificial” intelligence vs. biological intelligence and discusses how those are revealed in the limitations of today’s even most powerful AI tools. Finally, drawing on the ancient myth of Narcissus and Echo to illustrate our human vulnerability to the power of reflection, the chapter explains why the remarkable ability of these tools to mirror the nature of our own minds is so captivating to us—and so perilous.
The Thoughts the Civilized Keep
Authors: Vallor Shannon 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Provoked by the philosopher and mathematician Alfred North Whitehead’s claim that civilization advances by automating the work of thinking, this chapter asks: what aspects of thinking must resist automation? We are witnessing a rapid AI-driven expansion of automated decision-making systems predicted decades ago by Isaac Asimov in his stories of the fictional Multivac. In this chapter, the reader is challenged to reflect on the limits of this path, and on what we stand to lose—morally, politically, and personally—by surrendering to machines the hard-won moral and political labor of thinking. Our chances to craft a sustainable future for the human family hang upon our shrinking capacity to perform this labor together, to stand with one another in what the philosopher Wilfrid Sellars called “the space of reasons.” AI mirrors only regenerate the thoughts we’ve already had. To hold open a future, we must once again fight to think for ourselves.
Practitioners’ Perspectives on Operationalizing Strategic Workforce Planning
Authors: Feinzig Sheri L. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
High-quality data are an essential foundational element of strategic workforce planning (SWP), as are the knowledge and skills to apply the right analytical techniques to varying types of data to derive impactful insights and recommendations. Data and analytics on their own, though, are insufficient for successful SWP. Also required are a strong understanding of the business and its strategic goals, effective stakeholder relationships, and linkages to the organization’s talent processes that bring workforce planning to life. This chapter explores the different ways SWP practitioners define their craft, summarizes the variety of data sources (internal, external, HR and non-HR) and analytical techniques typically used, highlights the importance of qualitative information, considers the focus on critical roles and skills, and describes uses of scenario planning in building workforce plans. Important operational considerations are discussed, and advice is shared for anticipating and addressing challenges in the practice of SWP.
Strategic Workforce Planning in the US Federal Government
Authors: Knowles Laura , Adrignola Samantha 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
With millions of employees organized across multiple agencies and organizations, the US federal government has strategic workforce planning challenges that are both familiar and unique to strategic workforce planning (SWP) practitioners. How do practitioners implement and assess SWP activities across the broader enterprise while addressing organization-specific needs? This chapter addresses the difficulties of balancing rigor and practicality, long-term strategic planning and immediate tactical support, and applying common best practices while respecting the autonomy of individual agencies. The authors make a case for increased engagement of industrial-organizational (I-O) psychologists in federal SWP to influence data-driven workforce management in the complex environment of the government.
The History of the Workforce at Saudi Aramco
Authors: Hobson and Christian , Katwyk Paul van 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
As a national oil and gas company that prides itself on safe and reliable operations, Aramco has ensured that its strategic workforce planning approach is practical, robust, and integrated into business decision making processes. As the company has evolved into a huge and diverse publicly listed global energy and chemicals company, the approach to SWP has needed to mirror this evolution. This case study explores the unique workforce demands associated with an alignment to a country’s national ambition, demanding a broader workforce planning agenda and significant investments. In Aramco’s case, workforce planning required the creation of a Saudi national talent pool which drove initiatives like the Saudization of corporate leadership. As Aramco has evolved and broadened, the efforts to mature its workforce planning efforts to be more strategic have included a more advanced predictive analytics framework and the building of a talent organization to support SWP and its implementation.
Scenario Planning
Authors: Goldberg Edie 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This chapter introduces the idea of using scenario planning as a tool to help make strategic workforce planning (SWP) more agile. Using a real-life example, the reader is walked through the approach used to help a high-growth biotech company prepare the organization to launch its first product. This case study also emphasizes the importance of focusing on future capabilities (a skills-based viewpoint) versus traditional SWP, which focuses on roles and headcount. Many unknown variables existed during this transitional time for the case study company, making scenario planning an ideal tool to help the organization imagine and plan for different outcomes.
Moving Mountains
Authors: Aiken Juliet R. , Glascock Tori 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
In this chapter, the authors discuss the personal and professional tribulations and joys that come from planning for a more just (diverse, inclusive, equitable, secure, and healthy) workforce. The work of creating a just workforce pits practitioners against formidable, imposing mountains of tradition that are so deeply rooted and entrenched that they become the unquestioned, immutable “given” (status quo) in workplaces and in the workforce planning discipline, training, and theories. The authors describe how organizations can begin to engage in just workforce planning, including how to leverage top-down and bottom-up forces to change for better and for good, and the interplay of the personal and the professional when working to change workforces as well as the world. The authors situate lessons learned and tips for thriving in this space within the context of an organizational change project inspired by real events.
Zero Hour for Jobs
Authors: Bazigos Michael N. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores the innovative approaches taken during the COVID-19 pandemic to address labor market volatility and workforce disruption. Through strategic workforce planning (SWP) and the deployment of technologies such as natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML), the “People + Work Connect” platform facilitated labor exchanges between a global ecosystem of companies, job redesign, and skill analysis. Analyzing roles in terms of automatability and remote work capabilities, the platform redefined traditional thinking about job roles. Key to the success was the combination of consulting skills, analytics expertise, and organizational psychology domain expertise. Real-world examples, like automated decomposition of a customer service analyst role and finding near-fit roles based on skill proximity exemplify the potential of these strategies.
Interstate Commerce, Foreign Commerce, and Related Principles
Authors: Siegel Neil S. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Chapter 5 of The Collective-Action Constitution leverages collective-action reasoning to explain the origins of the Interstate Commerce Clause, to critique the US Supreme Court’s formal distinctions in many cases interpreting this clause, and to identify a functional replacement: the distinction between collective and individual action by states. In partial contrast to the Court, this chapter reads the Interstate Commerce Clause textually and structurally as authorizing federal legislation that helps address a multistate collective-action problem caused by interstate spillovers with economic effects. Under this approach, Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) and all important decisions from 1937 to the 1990s are correctly decided. A collective-action approach also explains why the contemporary Court has decided most of its Interstate Commerce Clause cases correctly, albeit for reasons other than what its doctrine states. The chapter next questions the categorical nature of the Court’s anti-commandeering principle and defends the Court’s dormant commerce doctrine, including its two exceptions. The chapter then leverages collective-action logics to illuminate the Founding history and scope of the Foreign and Indian Commerce Clauses. The states must act collectively, not individually, to act effectively in their commercial relations with other nations. Moreover, “Commerce” in these clauses should be interpreted how it is structurally best understood in interstate-commerce cases: to include interactions and affairs outside markets in addition to trade and other economic activities. Finally, this chapter discusses the constitutional principle that valid federal law supersedes conflicting state law (preemption), which flows directly from a collective-action account of the Constitution.
