Summary: International Relations, as a discipline, tends to focus upon European and Western canons of modern social and political thought. Alternatively, this book explores the global imperial and colonial context within which knowledge of modernity has been developed. This work provides a significant contribution to the field and will be of great interest to all scholars of politics, political theory and international relations theory.
