Opis

This book interrogates the meanings of the established ontology and subjectivity embedded in the discourse of ‘Western’ and ‘non-Western’ IR. The contributors reveal the extent to which contemporary IR discourses are a part of the culture of linear progress and pre-given autonomous sovereign individuals.
