内容説明

This collection of essays examines the place and absence of the Third World in global discourses. From globalization and dependency to gender and sexuality, it draws on diverse sources, including literary narrative, postmodernist geography and even 19th-century medical discourse. International relations serves as a reference point throughout. The book attempts to position new ways of thinking in relation to established disciplinary paradigms in international relations. There are ten chapters, which are divided into three parts. The first part examines the three discourses adjacent to international relations which, implicitly or explicitly, challenge the discipline's suzeraintity over the domain of world politics. The second part covers particular episodes and issues in the interaction between North and South, or earlier between colonizer and colonized. The third part explores issues of gender and sexuality which arise in the context of relations between North and South. The thematic links between the chapters are reinforced by the introduction and the afterword by the editor.
