This book questions the accepted origins of the field of
International Relations (IR). Commonly understood to have emerged
from the horrors of WW1 with the goal of bringing about world
peace, the authors argue that on the contrary, IR came from a
somewhat less noble tradition - that of the Round Table. The Round
Table were a network of imperialists emerging in the late 1800s
across five key British imperial societies: Australia, Canada, New
Zealand, South Africa and India. Their aim was to improve imperial
governance, placing the empire into a position to control world
affairs. Although they ultimately failed to rearrange world order
according to their vision, they did help to build what we now call
the discipline of IR. The Round Table's 'scientific method' for the
study of world affairs was rapidly subsumed into each geopolitical
context. Through telling this story, the authors recover it, and
interrogate its meanings for the discipline of IR today. They show
the importance of the Global South to IR's foundations, and argue
that IR scholarship in this period was intertwined with imperial
racial thought in ways that it should not and cannot forget.
