This edited volume explores the contours of Global International Relations (IR) in terms of teaching and research in Southeast Asia and China with the purpose of revealing existing and “hidden” pre- theories, conceptual frameworks, and theoretical contributions to Global IR rooted in local histories, contemporary experiences, and indigenous thought.
The exploration is conducted within a context where scholars across regions are progressively taking strides to reshape IR, which has long gravitated towards Western experiences, thought, and knowledge, into a more inclusive discipline. Otherwise known as the Global IR project, these efforts aim not only to amplify marginalized voices and experiences but also introduce new conceptual and theoretical tools derived from a diverse range of experiences. While some of these insights provide new understandings, others offer useful implications that transcend national and regional boundaries, fostering crossregional discussions about the diverse realities within our world.
An essential read for scholars and students of IR with an interest in Global IR, IR theory in general, and the development of IR in parts of Southeast Asia.
“With more than 650 million people, a combined GDP of $3.6 trillion, and being home to one of the most successful examples of regional cooperation, Southeast Asia plays a critical role in the contemporary world order. Yet, the Western-centric literature on International Relations has ignored this region. This book, framed in the emerging paradigm of Global IR, and combining original research with careful analysis, meets the critical need for a survey of the state of IR in Southeast Asia.”
Amitav Acharya, Distinguished Professor, American University, Washington DC; Past President of the International Studies Association (ISA)
“Obviously, International Relations studied through western-centric experiences and assumptions can only be partial and inaccurate. The key challenge lies in how to correct such biases. This volume provides rich food for thought from a part of the world that has long and varied experience with navigating the international and the global. It demonstrates the social, political, and institutional complexities of academic practice that shape and constrain the globalization of the discipline. It also suggests that, like those from other regions, Southeast Asian concepts and practices should be informing the revision of general theories of IR.”
