About this book
Reviews
“A timely, critical, and unquestionably needed book in the field of International Relations. ‘Non-Western Global Theories’ is a brave attempt to bring into perspective a significant, though often forgotten, fact that most of the established theories in the field of International Relations, are not truly ‘international’, instead they are dominated by Western understandings. The book thus invites us to reposition International Relations Theory to move closer to being ‘international’ or ‘global’.”
—Dr Helia Rahbari, University of Aberdeen, Scotland
“This book offers an empirically rich and theoretically grounded contribution to the field of IR. Its deliberation to avoid a ‘centrism trap’ through ‘repositioning’ Western Theory while actively engaging with Non-Western Theory is a much-needed endeavour at this particular historical juncture.”
—Dr Kailing Xie, University of Birmingham, England
