The purpose of this article is to present many solid reasons to carry out a study of the topics related to the construction of world-unity and world-citizenship vocabularies through the methods of conceptual history. The scrutiny of the historical foundations of the UN world-unity vocabulary is not very helpful in itself, but in order to understand the historical dimensions of the present, the study of the historical foundations of world-unity structures represents a very useful starting point, since those world-unity structures still constitute a fundamental part of the current framework of international relations; and it will be no less useful to make visible the conceptual structures related to the use of time layers in political narration since they are key elements of almost all future-oriented political narratives.

This chapter explores existing scholarship on democracy in international relations, focusing primarily on the democratic peace research programme. The remainder of the chapter provides the theoretical and conceptual framework for the book. It identifies how conceptions of democracy have developed in relation to principles of sovereignty and legitimacy in international society. A conceptual history methodology is proposed, which is outlined by drawing on the work of Quentin Skinner and Reinhart Koselleck. The final part of the chapter uses Thucydides to draw out some key themes of the book.

The Relationship

This article has two purposes: (a) to examine the relationship between intercultural power relations and the widespread practice of accent discrimination and (b) to underscore the ramifications of accent discrimination both for the individual and for global society as a whole. First, authors review social theory regarding language and group identity construction, and then go on to integrate more current studies linking accent bias to sociocultural variables. Authors discuss three examples of intercultural accent discrimination in order to illustrate how this link manifests itself in the broader context of international relations (i.e., how accent discrimination is generated in situations of unequal power) and, using a review of current research, assess the consequences of accent discrimination for the individual. Finally, the article highlights the impact that linguistic discrimination is having on linguistic diversity globally, partially using data from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and partially by offering a potential context for interpreting the emergence of practices that seek to reduce or modify speaker accents.
