风格管理：联合国全球反恐形象

全球治理的模式比比皆是：专家治理、网络治理、算法治理和老式的司法政治治理都在争夺解释力。本文将风格作为一种分析治理配置的方法，这种配置不适合特定的治理模型。当涉及到故意不明确或过度明确、打破流派和对冲赌注的治理方式时，风格尤其具有启示性。联合国使用“召集权”一词就是一个很好的例子。这篇文章着眼于联合国如何在反恐治理领域将自己塑造成一个召集力量。对联合国反恐周宣传材料的视觉分析表明，联合国作为一个召集力量的自我形象是由焦虑和愿望塑造的。
Models of global governance abound: expert governance, networked governance, algorithmic governance, and old-fashioned juridico-political governance vie for explanatory power. This article takes up style as a way of analysing configurations of governance that do not readily fit a particular model of governance. Style is particularly revealing when it comes to deliberately unspecified or over-specified, genre-busting, and bet-hedging ways of imagining governance. The UN’s use of the phrase ‘convening power’ is a case in point. This article looks at how the UN has styled itself as a convening power in the area of counter-terrorism governance. A visual analysis of promotional materials for the UN’s Counter-Terrorism Week suggests that the UN’s self-styling as a convening power is shaped by anxieties as well as aspirations.
