Do you already know a new book by our professor Emilian Kavalski?

 

We strongly recommend you read his China's Rise and Rethinking International Relations Theory. The book investigates how the dynamics of China’s rise in world politics contributes to the development of theory in international relations (IR), bringing together leading scholars from Asia and the West.

It demonstrates how the complex and transformative nature of the Chinese advance is also a point of departure for theoretical innovation and reflection in IR in general. In doing so, the volume builds a strong case for a genuinely global and post-Western IR. It contends that ‘non-Western’ countries should not only be considered potential sources of knowledge production, but also original and legitimate focuses of IR theorizing in their own right.
