John Hobson claims that throughout its history most international
theory has been embedded within various forms of Eurocentrism.
Rather than producing value-free and universalist theories of
inter-state relations, international theory instead provides
provincial analyses that celebrate and defend Western civilization
as the subject of, and ideal normative referent in, world politics.
Hobson also provides a sympathetic critique of Edward Said's
conceptions of Eurocentrism and Orientalism, revealing how
Eurocentrism takes different forms, which can be imperialist or
anti-imperialist, and showing how these have played out in
international theory since 1760. The book thus speaks to scholars
of international relations and also to all those interested in
understanding Eurocentrism in the disciplines of political
science/political theory, political economy/international political
economy, geography, cultural and literary studies, sociology and,
not least, anthropology.
