Post-colonialism
- new approach in international relations that provides a bottoms-up rather than a states-
down approach
- uses fiction and personal testimonials
- broad enough to include colonial and post colonial people and situations that are
relevant
- to bring historical relations of colonial powers with colonies into studies
- get perspective of colonised people rather than just the great powers
- still today lingering colonial hierarchies of race, class and gender
- colonies not sovereign or independent, many had to struggle violently
- worldview of IR based on USA and Europe
- after ww2 more than 60 colonies achieved independence
The main issue
- the focus of mainstream international relations scholarship only on superpowers
- why does it matter?
- Studying world politics but huge neglect as our world gets reduced to great powers
- The power they have across borders
- The tragedy of great power politics
