The book presents the case for the making of a new political
imagination by offering a critique of existing political
institutions, philosophy and practices that are unable to provide
the thinking, means and leadership to deal with the complexity and
crises of specific locales and the world at large. The authors make
clear that there is a fundamental disjuncture between the
complexity of the combined critical conditions that are now putting
life on Earth at risk, and the divisions and theories of knowledge
that are dominantly and instrumentally trying to understand the
situation. In response, this work makes the case for the need for a
new political imagination that rejects the sufficiency of existing
political ideologies (including democracy) being the end point of
politics. The book tackles the political underpinnings of social
and economic life in a world still embedded in the inequities of
the afterlife of colonialism and state socialism. Thereafter it
engages narratives of change, rethinks imagination and critical
practices, to finally present a relationally connected way to move
forward. This trans-disciplinary volume is directed at those
working in political philosophy and epistemology, critical global
and security studies, decoloniality and postcolonial studies,
design, critical anthropology and the post humanities. It is
accessible to both academic audiences and activists and
practitioners.
