Western Dominance in International Relations?: The Internationalisation of IR in Brazil and India (Worlding Beyond the West)

Audrey Alejandro
4.9/5 (28771 ratings)
Description:Since the 1970's, a "critical" movement has been developing in the humanities and social sciences denouncing the existence of a "Western dominance" over the worldwide production and circulation of knowledge. However, thirty years after the emergence of this promising agenda in International Relations (IR), this discipline has not experienced a major shift.This volume offers a counter-intuitive and original contribution to the understanding of the global circulation of knowledge. Contrary to what is commonly accepted by the literature, it argues that the internationalisation of social sciences in the designated "Southern" countries is not conditioned by the existence of a presumably "Western dominance." Indeed, though discriminative practices such as eurocentrism and gate-keeping exist, their existence does not lead to a unipolar structuration of IR internationalisation around the West. Paradoxically, this research shows that the critical discourses denouncing that "the West" represents the core of the world structuration of knowledge ("the theory of Western dominance"), and that gate-keeping practices occur along a West/non-West divide, reproduce the very Eurocentric discriminative mechanisms that they criticise.This work will be of interest to all students and scholars with an interest in the future of international relations theory.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
