In a world still shaped by the legacies of empire, Decolonizing International Relations: A Southern Perspective offers a bold and necessary rethinking of global politics. This groundbreaking volume challenges the deeply entrenched Western-centric foundations of International Relations (IR) by foregrounding the voices, experiences, and epistemologies of the Global South.
From theoretical critiques to region-specific analyses, the book explores the marginalization of non-Western perspectives and presents alternative frameworks rooted in postcolonial theory, Southern theory, and indigenous knowledge systems. Spanning the landscapes of Africa, Asia, and Latin America, it provides a comprehensive examination of how decolonial thought reshapes our understanding of international institutions, global governance, and the future of IR as a discipline.
Structured across ten thought-provoking chapters—from a critical introduction to Western dominance, to reimagining global governance from the South—this book is a clarion call for a more inclusive, pluralistic, and just global order.
Whether you are a student, scholar, or practitioner of international affairs, Decolonizing International Relations is an essential resource for engaging with the world beyond colonial frameworks and imagining new possibilities for global cooperation and understanding.
