Opis

Western concepts and approaches to IR remain insufficient in explaining what happens globally. Aydinli and Biltekin propose a new form of theorizing, which effectively blends peripheral outlooks with theory production. They call this form "homegrown theorizing," or original theorizing in the periphery about the periphery.
