Caste, dharma and nation: Ambedkar as a post-western thinker
IR as inter-cosmological relations
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…
Who has rights?
Protection of human rights has been made an international obligation for all states, and violations are subject to prosecution by the International Criminal Court and various international tribunals convened to investigate crimes against humanity, most notably in the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and Rwanda. Unanimously adopted by the General Assembly in December 1948, the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights has come to s…
Conclusion
In the concluding chapter, the editors will examine the legacies and possibilities opened up by this survey of the relationship between religion and nationalism in Asia before returning to the questions posed in the introduction. The chapter first reviews modernist theories of nationalism before examining how the various contributors to this volume have challenged conventional accounts of the relationship between religion, nationalism, and modern…
Midnight’s children
Both India and Pakistan were born on midnight in August 1947. Conventionally, India is considered to be a ‘secular’ and Pakistan a ‘religious’ nation-state. However, both were conceived of as secular polities at independence. In recent years, the ‘idea of India’ ( Khilnani 1997 ) as a ‘secular, sovereign, and democratic republic’ has been challenged by the Hindu ‘nationalist’ Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The political wing of the Rashtriya Swaya…

Human Security as ontological security: A Post-Colonial Approach
This article will critically interrogate the relationship between Human Security and Ontological Security from a broadly postcolonial perspective. The dislocation engendered by successive waves of neo-liberal globalisation has resulted in the deracination of many of the world's inhabitants, resulting in a state of collective 'existential anxiety' [Anthony Giddens, Modernity and Self-Identity: Self and Society in the Late Modern Age, Cambridge: Po…

In recent years, the discipline of international relations (IR) has undergone a religious renaissance. The previously stable distinctions between the religious and the secular, sacred and profane a

Religion, Identity and Human Security
Religion, Identity and Human Security seeks to demonstrate that a major source of human insecurity comes from the failure of states around the world to recognize the increasing cultural diversity of their populations which has resulted from globalization. Shani begins by setting out the theoretical foundations, dealing with the transformative effects of globalization on identity, violence and security. The second part of the volume then draws on …

This forum draws on a selection of papers from two roundtables convened by the editors at the International Studies Association annual convention in New York in 2009. The discussions held on this occasion were unusual in that rather than seeking to apply Foucault to the problematic of International Relations (IR), the panelists were asked to reflect on the impact of Foucault on the discipline itself. Focusing on the central question of “What has …
