The ancient Indian text of Kautilya's Arthasastra comes forth as a
valuable non-Western resource for understanding contemporary
International Relations (IR). However, Kautilya's Arthasastra
largely suffers from the problem of 'presentism', whereby
present-day assumptions of the dominant theoretical models of
Classical Realism and Neorealism are read back into it, thereby
disrupting open reflections on Kautilya's Arthasastra which could
retrieve its 'alternative assumptions' and 'unconventional traits'.
This book attempts to enable Kautilya's Arthasastra to break free
from the problem of presentism - it does so by juxtaposing the
elements of continuity and change that showed up at different
junctures of the life-history of both 'Kautilya's Arthasastra' and
'Eurocentric IR'. The overall exploratory venture leads to a
Kautilyan non-Western eclectic theory of IR - a theory which
moderately assimilates miscellaneous research traditions of
Eurocentric IR, and, in addition, delivers a few innovative
features that could potentially uplift not only Indian IR, but also
Global IR.
