Abstract
This forum addresses Laura Zanotti’s Ontological Entanglements, Agency, and Ethics in
International Relations: Exploring the Crossroads, a landmark work for quantum International
Relations (IR) that seeks to demonstrate the critical purchase of quantum thinking for exploring
novel worldview. Interveners question the value added by the quantum turn in IR theory, both
as it related to critical and broader debates. Zanotti’s particular intervention – drawing on a
wide variety of themes in social theory, peace studies, feminist theory, metatheoretical debates
in IR, international organisations, international development, and beyond – is approaches from
the perspective of feminist theory, affect theory, temporality, philosophy of social science, and
critical theory. In the spirit of exploring the crossroads, this forum brings together different lines
of thinking that intersect through Ontological Entanglements but also extend onward, opening
provocative questions for future scholarship in critical quantum IR.
