Re-Writing International Relations Presents a Possible Way of Reading and re-writing the Eurocentrism of International Relations (IR). The method proposed to re-write histories of the manifestations and criticisms of Eurocentrism is through 'connected histories'. The first section of this book focuses on manifestations of Eurocentrism in and through disciplinary formations and geopolitical contexts. It explores the 'field of IR' as a problematic unit that already assumes that power is colonial. It questions the existence of 'fields of study' and the borders between them by examining the permeability between history and IR, and highlighting how Eurocentric assumptions about world politics are reproduced in the different 'fields'. The second section focuses on criticisms of Eurocentrism in and through disciplines and geopolitical contexts. It explores the different ways in which theoretical strategies criticising Eurocentrism were formulated in conversation with each other across disciplines and geopolitical contexts. Book jacket.
