“It is a fascinating book that challenges our consolidated academic understandings of international theory, uncovering idiosyncratic and contextualised accounts of non-Western, non-Anglophone thinkers during the twentieth century.” (Gillian Davenport, Australian Institute of International Affairs, internationalaffairs.org.au, January, 2018)“All the chapters are very good and well worth reading. The book has enough substance to serve as a source for many class discussions and will hopefully stimulate more scholarship at a time in which we need more ideas and bigger ideas to avoid the now-visible obstacles that threaten civilization and the hopes for a peaceful future.” (Laurie M. Johnson, The European Legacy, Vol. 23 (1-2), July, 2017)
