The 'subaltern speak: Can We, the Experts, Listen
Knowledge production in peace and conflict research is marked by a disconnect between its 'expertise-driven' research inquiries and lived realities of people across the world. In focusing on what knowledge and whose knowledge counts as legitimate among the diverse stakeholders, the article locates the raison d'être of this gap in the epistemic erasures inflicted by imperial knowledge and its lasting legacies, especially that of privileging the pr…
Provincialising International Relations through a reading of dharma
This article will attempt to ‘provincialise’ (Chakrabarty, 2000) the ‘secular cosmology’ of International Relations (IR) through an examination of the relational cosmology of dharma . We argue that IR is grounded in ‘secularised’ Judaeo-Christian assumptions concerning time, relations between self and other, order, and the sovereign state that set the epistemic limits of the discipline. These assumptions will be ‘provincialised’ through an engage…
Introduction to the Special Issue: Pluriversal relationality
Both relationality and separateness are aspects of our everyday lives. How we engage these phenomena hinges on the particular existential assumptions that we take for granted. Within the discipline of International Relations (IR), both relationality and separateness have informed how global politics is studied and practiced. How states and their relations are conceived has, for instance, varied by the distinct degrees of privilege given to separa…

Globalization, deglobalization and knowledge production
Although globalization processes have brought the world closer through the exchange of knowledge, ideas and practices, advances in knowledge dissemination have not been mirrored by expansion in sites and modes of knowledge production. This article probes this disjuncture and asks how deglobalization might chart different pathways by delving into the intellectual history of the making of International Relations (IR). Focusing its gaze on the struc…
Forum on Pedagogy: The Introductory Course in International Relations: Regional Variations
This forum explores how societal contexts affect how instructors teach introductory undergraduate courses in international relations (IR), global politics, and international studies. Contributors teach at universities in China, Ecuador, India, Morocco, South Africa, the United Kingdom–Scotland, and the United States. Because instructors vary the structure, content, and pedagogical approaches in their courses (and perhaps most in their introductor…
Covid-19, Democracies, and (De)Colonialities
Liberal democracies often include rights of participation, guarantees of protection, and policies that privilege model citizens within a bounded territory. Notwithstanding claims of universal equality for “humanity,” they achieve these goals by epistemically elevating certain traits of identity above “others,” sustaining colonial biases that continue to favor whoever is regarded more “human.” The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated these fault line…
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…
Knowledge Production
Debating the global character of the international relations (IR) discipline a century after its “birth,” in the aftermath of the First World War, and nearly forty years after its seminal characterization by Stanley Hoffman as an “American discipline” shows that the last word on this issue is yet to be written. Although there is a small, critical, and growing body of scholarship around the world that is engaged in a broad-based endeavor for expan…

Re-imagining IR in India
The poor conceptualization of Indian IR can be explained by local factors such as its disciplinary location and pedagogical issues but its mainly because Western IRT has acquired a Gramscian hegemony over the epistemological foundations of the disciplinary core of Indian IRT - termed as 'traditional IR' in this article. It discusses the 'disciplinary gate-keeping practices' of Western IRT and the intellectual dependency of Indian IRT, which does …
The Long Road Ahead: Engendering Conflict Analysis in South Asia
The Beijing Plus Five forum as well as the Women Building Peace campaign spear- headed by International Alert have brought the issue of women in armed conflict to the centre stage. This discussion addresses the changing character of conflict and the nature of conflict studies in international relations and the question of gender therein. It outlines some broad conceptual milestones or recognisable and shared processes of engendering research in t…
