Introduction / Part I: Manifestations of Eurocentrism / 1. ‘History’ in International Relations / 2. ‘International Relations’ in History / 3. The ‘Past’ as Experienced / Part II: Criticisms of Eurocentrism / 4. Coloniality, Decoloniality, Postcoloniality / 5. Constructing the Non-Western / Conclusion
In this comprehensive and meticulous study, Zeynep Gulsah Capan masterfully reveals the Eurocentrism embedded and reinforced in International Relations for over a century. She also, and just as importantly, provides us the strategies to contest Eurocentrism. The result is a lively and ambitious book that unsettles our assumptions about the ‘field’ of IR as we think we’ve known it, and shows us how we might Re-Write IR once again.
