This book provides a critical understanding of contemporary world
politics by arguing that the neoliberal approach to international
relations seduces many of us into investing our lives in projects
of power and alienation. These projects offer few options for
emancipation; consequently, many feel they have little choice but
to retaliate against violence with more violence. The authors of
this pioneering work articulate worldism as an alternative approach
to world politics. It intertwines non-Western and Western
traditions by drawing on Marxist, postcolonial, feminist and
critical security approaches with Greek and Chinese theories of
politics, broadly defined. The authors contend that contemporary
world politics cannot be understood outside the legacies of these
multiple worlds, including axes of power configured by gender,
race, class, and nationality, which are themselves linked to
earlier histories of colonizations and their contemporary
formations. With fiction and poetry as exploratory methods, the
authors build on their 'multiple worlds' approach to consider
different sites of world politics, arguing that a truly
emancipatory understanding of world politics requires more than
just a shift in ways of thinking; above all, it requires a shift in
ways of being. Transforming World Politics will be of vital
interest to students and scholars of International Relations,
Political Science, Postcolonial Studies, Social Theory, Women's
Studies, Asian Studies, European Union and Mediterranean Studies,
and Security Studies.
