This book examines the historical interactions of the West and
non-Western world, and investigates whether or not the exclusive
adoption of Western-oriented 'international norms' is the
prerequisite for the construction of international order. This book
sets out to challenge the Eurocentric foundations of modern
International Relations scholarship by examining international
relations in the early modern era, when European primacy had yet to
develop in many parts of the globe. Through a series of regional
case studies on East Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin
America, and Russia written by leading specialists of their field,
this book explores patterns of cross-cultural exchange and
civilizational encounters, placing particular emphasis upon
historical contexts. The chapters of this book document and analyse
a series of regional international orders that were primarily
defined by local interests, agendas and institutions, with European
interlopers often playing a secondary role. These perspectives
emphasize the central role of non-European agency in shaping global
history, and stand in stark contrast to conventional narratives
revolving around the 'Rise of the West', which tend to be based
upon a stylized contrast between a dynamic 'West' and a passive and
static 'East'. Focusing on a crucial period of global history that
has been neglected in the field of International Relations,
International Orders in the Early Modern World will be interest to
students and scholars of international relations, international
relations theory, international history, early modern history and
sociology.
