Deliberately eschewing disciplinary and temporal boundaries, this
volume makes a major contribution to the de-traditionalization of
political thinking within the discourses of international
relations. Collecting the works of twenty-five theorists, this
Ashgate Research Companion engages some of the most pressing
aspects of political thinking in world politics today. The authors
explore theoretical constitutions, critiques, and affirmations of
uniquely modern forms of power, past and present. Among the themes
and dynamics examined are textual appropriation and representation,
materiality and capital formation, geopolitical dimensions of
ecological crises, connections between representations of violence
and securitization, subjectivity and genderization,
counter-globalization politics, constructivism, biopolitics,
post-colonial politics and theory, as well as the political
prospects of emerging civic and cosmopolitan orders in a time of
national, religious, and secular polarization. Radically different
in their approaches, the authors critically assess the discourses
of IR as interpretive frames that are indebted to the historical
formation of concepts, and to particular negotiations of power that
inform the main methodological practices usually granted primacy in
the field. Students as well as seasoned scholars seeking to
challenge accepted theoretical frameworks will find in these
chapters fresh insights into contemporary world-political problems
and new resources for their critical interrogation.
