International Relations and Identity examines the issue of
collective political identity formation and expands the concept of
the international beyond the notion of states. Providing a
dialogical approach to questions of identity and alterity in
International Relations, the author considers how identity is
formed, maintained and transformed in continuous processes with
alterity. This innovative book seeks to broaden understanding of
identity and difference by developing a process-based perspective.
It shifts the attention from a dichotomising view of the
international to the multiple ways by which identity and difference
are related. It challenges traditional conceptions of the
international and argues that it is constituted by the processes in
which states and other actors participate and is more than a
spatial dimension constituted by states. Guillaume illustrates this
complex theory with a detailed case study of how Japanese political
community has formed, performed and transformed in the nineteenth
and early twentieth centuries, in light of the questions of empire
and multiculturalism. International Relations and Identity will be
of interest to students and scholars of international politics,
international relations theory and Japanese studies.
