This volume presents the critical perspectives of feminists,
critical race theorists, and queer and postcolonial theorists who
question the adoption of European norms in the postcolonial world
and whether such norms are enabling for disenfranchised communities
or if they simply reinforce relations of domination and
exploitation. It examines how postcolonial interventions alter the
study of politics and society both in the postcolony and in
Euro-America, as well as of the power relations between them.
Challenging conventional understandings of international politics,
this volume pushes the boundaries of the social sciences by
engaging with alternative critical approaches and innovatively and
provocatively addressing previously disregarded aspects of
international politics. The fourteen contributions in this volume
focus on the silencing and exclusion of vulnerable groups from
claims of freedom, equality and rights, while highlighting
postcolonial-queer-feminist struggles for transnational justice,
radical democracy and decolonization, drawing on in-depth
empirically-informed analyses of processes and struggles in Asia,
Africa, Europe and Latin America. They address political and social
topics including global governance and development politics;
neo-colonialism, international aid and empire; resistance,
decolonization and the Arab Spring; civil society and social
movement struggles; international law, democratization and
subalternity; body politics and green imperialism. By drawing on
other disciplines in the social sciences and humanities, this book
both enriches and expands the discipline of political science and
international relations. Primary readership for this volume will be
academics and students concerned with globalization studies,
postcolonial theory, gender studies, and international relations,
as well as political activists and policy-makers concerned with
social and transnational justice, human rights, democracy, gender
justice and women's rights.
