Pluriversality as methodology
This reflection highlights three key political, ethical, and methodological contributions of pluriversality that demand attention. First, pluriversality as methodology or cosmopraxis is not just about imagining other worlds to contest dominant narratives; it is about enacting them as they already exist. Second, by asking questions otherwise, pluriversality dismantles the privilege of singularity – the belief that one world must exist at the expen…
Pluriversal IR in the Classroom
This paper starts by highlighting a disconnection between traditional International Relations (IR) and the contexts of students in the Global South. Pluriversal approaches are gaining importance to decolonise and pluralise IR. However, how much of this is discussed and applied in classrooms to create space for students’ worlds, diversify their ontological registers, and boost their creativity by cultivating plurality? Drawing from pluriversal rel…
Are the International Tribunals of Rights of Nature pluriversal
The recognition of natural entities like rivers, forests, and mountains as subjects of rights is becoming an important trend throughout the world. It is a result of efforts by legal and environmental activists, Indigenous groups, and civil society organizations united under - among others - the Rights of Nature (RoN) movement that contest the binary separation between human and nature. The International Tribunals of Rights of Nature (ITRN) play a…
Animacy and the Agency of Spiritual Beings in Pluriversal Societies
The concept of agency has long been a focal point of research in the social sciences. While traditional discussions primarily centered on human agency, recent scholarship has increasingly turned its attention to agency beyond the human realm. This paper introduces a framework for comprehending the agency of spiritual beings within complex pluriversal sociopolitical systems. It contends that exploring the agency of spiritual beings challenges esta…
Textiling World Politics: Towards an extended epistemology, methodology, and ontology
This article argues that textiling—a particular kind of making that simultaneously constitutes a concept, a metaphor, and a practice—can facilitate a radical rethinking and redoing of the study of world politics. Specifically, we suggest three ways in which textiling, and the relationality it enables, facilitates this innovation: as a different way of theorizing in the discipline of international relations (IR), as a creative method and methodolo…
Water governance
This essay is about water governance and relationality. It reflects on the questions that articulate this forum on relational International Relations (IR): what do relational theories of IR offer to the field and add to the debate about IR? What are the promises or limits of relational approaches, and how can or should discussion proceed? I narrate my personal story about exploring and experiencing relationality to offer some reflections and thou…
Weaving Worlds: Cosmopraxis as Relational Sensibility
Relationality has become a popular term for addressing diversity, complexity, interconnectedness, and planetary crisis in many academic fields, including international relations (IR). This article shows that fully embracing relationality calls for a distinct set of tools that are discernable in cosmopraxis, an ontological stance derived from Andean thinking that upholds interdependence and co-becoming, being-feeling-knowing-doing, and both-and lo…
Cosmopraxis: Relational methods for a pluriversal IR
Bringing ontological questions back into IR has been key to opening discussions about plurality and difference in terms of the coexistence of related and plural worlds and realities, for example through notions such as relationality and pluriversality. The problem is that in trying to develop relational approaches as an alternative to the 'Western/modern' - atomistic - ontology, relationality, relations, and their meanings can become fixed, trans…
Comprendiendo y cuestionando la gobernanza global
Objetivo/contexto: El artículo argumenta que, a pesar de que la gobernanza global (GG) es un fenómeno ampliamente analizado y una práctica extendida en la actualidad, se sostiene sobre presunciones ontológicas que no han sido lo suficientemente cuestionadas. Por esa razón, su propósito es ofrecer una comprensión distinta de la GG basada en el pluralismo ontológico. Metodología: Para identificar esas presunciones universalistas, el artículo ofrece…
Differing about Difference: Relational IR from around the World
Difference, a central concern to the study of international relations (IR), has not had its ontological foundations adequately disrupted. This forum explores how existential assumptions rooted in relational logics provide a significantly distinct set of tools that drive us to re-orient how we perceive, interpret, and engage both similarity and difference. Taking their cues from cosmological commitments originating in the Andes, South Asia, East A…
Encountering the Pluriverse: Looking for Alternatives in Other Worlds
The lack of ontological pluralism in International Relations has been a strong determinant of the general scope of the discipline and its objects of study, as well as all that is rendered irrelevant to the study of the "international". IR has marginalized difference not only by disciplining epistemologies, but also by rejecting other ontologies, particularly those which belong to indigenous peoples, by relegating them to the realm of myths, legen…
Violencias encubiertas de la gobernanza global
The article problematizes the ontological assumptions under which global governance -as a concept and as a political project- is conceived, and how this institutionalizes and perpetuates the exclusion through covered violences that habilitate certain forms of being in the world. Among them, the process of constructing the Other and the acceptance of a determined form of knowing reality, restricting the possibility of thinking the political in oth…

Seguridad internacional y multilateralismo: Las organizaciones internacionales y la intervención en Libia
Since the end of World War II multilateralism has been the way through which states have faced threats against peace and international security, enforcing actions according to the Security Council (SC) prescriptions and the United Nations (UN) Charter. Nevertheless the performance of international organizations (IO) in the response to those threats has been criticized. Beyond ethical considerations on whether or not humanitarian interventions sho…
