Transforming World Politics - From Empire to Multiple Worlds

Zusatztext This is a worldly and sophisticated antidote to so much that is sterile and narrow in today's International Relations. The authors have provided us with a literate and learned statement on how to view a complex world. It is an important early contribution to what should become the mainstream of International Relations. Stephen Chan! Professor of International Relations! School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS)! University of London! UKIn challenging historical erasures that have been carried through violence as desire and the desire for violence! as well as the framing of discourses and the incarceration of labour in property relations!
