This book explores the possibilities of alternative worldings beyond those authorized by the disciplinary norms and customs of International Relations. In response to the boundary-drawing practices of IR that privilege the historical experience and scholarly folkways of the "West," the contributors examine the limits of even critical practice within the discipline; investigate alternative archives from India, the Caribbean, the steppes of Eurasia, the Andes, China, Japan and Southeast Asia that offer different understandings of proper rule, the relationality of identities and polities, notions of freedom and imaginations of layers of sovereignty; and demonstrate distinct modes of writing and inquiry. In doing so, the book also speaks about different possibilities for IR and for inquiry without it.

Is "international relations" obsolete? It might well be, unless it demarginalizes the histories, voices and ideas of the non-Western world. This book is a timely and valuable call for a more inclusive and truly global discipline. Amitav Acharya, American University, USA. Pioneering scholars, Tickner and Blaney, have produced a truly excellent volume that provides a fitting capstone for the trilogy and which serves admirably to advance the cause of postcolonialism in the Social Sciences. John M. Hobson, University of Sheffield, UK. This is a fascinating conclusion to a marvellous trilogy. Claiming the International should be essential reading for all IR scholars, it constitutes a powerful and persuasive account of what worlding IR actually means. Kimberly Hutchings, London School of Economics, UK.
