ISLAM AND THE POLITICAL THEORY GOVERNANCE AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

Since the end of the Cold War, unresolved conjunctures and crises of race, ethnicity, religion, diversity, diaspora, globalization, the West, and the non-West have radically projected the meaning of the political and the cultural beyond the traditional verities of Left and Right.

Throughout this period, Western developments in “international relations” have become increasingly defined as corollaries to national “race-relations” across both the European Union and the United States, where the reformation of Western imperial discourses and practices has been given particular impetus by the “war against terror.”

At the same time, hegemonic Western continuities of racial profiling and colonial innovations have attested to the incomplete and interrupted institutions of the postcolonial era.

 Today we are witnessing renewed critiques of these postcolonial horizons at the threshold of attempts to inaugurate the political and cultural forms that decolonization now needs to take within and between the West and the “non-West.”

 This book series explores and discusses radical ideas that open up and advance understandings of these politically multicultural issues and theoretically interdisciplinary questions.
