Interrogating International Relations India's Strategic Practice and the Return of History
Jayashree Vivekanandan, "Interrogating International Relations: India's Strategic Practice and the Return of History"
English | 2011 | ISBN: 0415598125, 1138664987 | PDF | pages: 267 | 2.8 mb
The book interrogates the disciplinary biases and firewalls that inform mainstream international relations today, and problematises the several tropes that have come to typify the strategic histories of post-colonial societies such as India. Questioning a range of long-held cultural representations on India, the book challenges such portrayals and underscores the centrality of context and contingency in any cultural explanation of state behaviour. It argues for a historico-cultural understanding of power and critiques IR's tendency to usher in a selective 'return of history'.
