Violence and the Third World in International Relations is intended
as a contribution to the decolonization of international relations,
and especially of international security studies, much of which is
dominated by a self-sustaining Eurocentrism. Rather than focusing
on the motivations of violence, this volume is concerned with the
devastating and debilitating consequences of war against the Third
World. Contributors delve into the violent structuring of Third
World societies during colonialism, the Cold War, and
globalization. A wide range of topics are systematically examined,
including, but not restricted to, the role of racism in the
construction of the international system; evangelical universalism
and colonial conquest in Africa; American civilizational security
as Grand Strategy in Asia; the colonial roots of guerrilla war in
India; the widespread suffering and death inflicted on Iraqis
through sanctions; violence against indigenous peoples in Colombia
related to 'war capitalism'; the complicated legacies of genocide
in Cambodia; the Saudi-led, (US and UK backed) war against Yemen;
the relationalities between violence in the US and the Third World
during Obama's presidency; the structural location of gang violence
in Central America in the aftermath of foreign intervention; and a
broader understanding of security and insecurity in the Caribbean.
Violence and the Third World in International Relations will be of
particular interest to scholars of postcolonial and decolonial
international relations, international security studies, and race
and international relations. This book was originally published as
a special issue of Third World Quarterly.
