About the Book:

Postcolonial Theory and International Relations is an insightful and groundbreaking text that bridges the fields of postcolonial studies and international relations. Edited by Sanjay Seth, this book provides a comprehensive and accessible survey of how postcolonial theory radically reshapes our understanding of international politics. Through a series of chapters, each written by leading scholars, the book examines core elements of international relations — including theories, the nation-state, geopolitics, international law, war, political economy, sovereignty, religion, nationalism, and empire — through a postcolonial lens.

This collection challenges traditional Western-centric views of global politics, offering students and scholars a critical perspective on the complexities of international relations in a postcolonial world. By exploring the intersections between postcolonial theory and global politics, Postcolonial Theory and International Relations provides valuable insights into the ways colonial histories continue to shape contemporary global issues.

Ideal for students and scholars alike, this 216-page paperback is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the ongoing impact of colonialism on international relations and global power structures.
