Towards the Global Study of International Relations

Abstract

This article reviews recent critiques of the wester-centrism of mainstream International Relations. It argues that the overriding challenge is to try to move beyond critique and to develop a global study of international relations that insists on the importance of the systemic, of the global, but that also takes the critiques seriously and builds on them productively.

Keywords:
Eurocentrism; International Relations Theory; Area Studies; Non-western IR; Global International Society
