Part of abstract:
The project identifies two tensions that characterise global modernity and investigates how these can help to explain the contemporary design and pursuit of the politics of WH. Our research purpose is twofold, first to explore how WH - although frequently prescribed as a solution to a range of global problems— is often entwined with national and international conflicts, and, second, how WH nevertheless, in a promising way, allows for a plurality of global imaginaries to be articulated.
