Summary:

International Affairs is still mostly taught from a Western perspective. This open-access book brings together writers from around the world to rethink the field. It shows why decolonizing global politics matters, offers new ways to understand today’s world, and provides useful tools for students, teachers, and anyone interested in global issues. A timely and wide-ranging volume that brings together leading and emerging scholars to rethink international affairs from the Global South. ● Adom Getachew, author of Worldmaking after Empire: The Rise and Fall of Self-Determination. This handbook shows how the inefficiency and the injustice of the current world order cannot be addressed without fundamentally challenging the Western-centric, imperialist, and racist global knowledge system. ● Ha-Joon Chang, author of Kicking Away the Ladder and Bad Samaritans. With this handbook, the decolonial discourse is further boosted beyond measure as a 21st-century thought. ● Sabelo J. Ndlovu-Gatsheni, author of Empire, Global Coloniality and African Subjectivity.. This impressive volume has a central theme: a second decolonization of international relations necessarily requires a re-ordering of norms, institutions and geographies of global power. ● Jayati Ghosh, Professor of Economics, University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA Colonial power relations persist beyond formal independence, as economic and financial neocolonialism continues to shape realities for states and populations, and this book challenges them. ● Stefan Liebich, former Member of the German Parliament and Director of the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation New York Sakiko Fukuda-Parr is Professor of International Affairs at The New School for Social Research, New York City. Sean Jacobs is Professor of International Affairs at The New School for Social Research, New York City, and Founder of Africa Is a Country.
