About The Book
Decentering International Relations challenges the traditional dominance of Western perspectives in the field of International Relations (IR). It confronts the deeply politicized and Eurocentric nature of IR, questioning its inherent biases and asking whether it is possible to break away from the established norms that often position the US and its European allies at the center. The book draws on diverse theories and engages with scholars, activists, and students to propose an alternative, more inclusive approach to IR that takes into account marginalized voices and perspectives. The work critiques key global concepts like 'human rights,' 'globalization,' 'peace and security,' and 'indigeneity,' showing how they are not just normative constructs, but also tools that can either reinforce or challenge global power structures. Through this engaging and thought-provoking examination, the book invites readers to rethink how IR is studied, learned, and practiced in a global context.
