This book examines the modes by which the grand theories of
International Relations can be restructured at the level of
meta-theory. It emphasizes the inability of grand theories to make
sense of international relations in postcolonial societies and
argues to engage in such restructuring in the domain of ontology.
This is done by making a historical sociological defence toward
adopting mid-level theories in IR. It is a critique of the
meta-theoretical foundations of Kenneth Waltz's grand theory of
neorealism, by pivoting itself upon the framework of postcolonial
ontology. Dwelling upon Mohammed Ayoob’s mid-level theory of
subaltern realism, it argues for undertaking the task of
restructuring International Relations at the level of meta-theory,
largely in the sphere of ontology. It explains how the thrust of
grand theories such as neorealism, on ontological singularity can
be circumvented. Owing to this, International Relations can
experience a meta-theoretical transformation that may manifest in
the broader engagement of the discipline itself, with the very
conception of ontological multiplicity.
