This book opens by including all those geographical and cultural linkages that constitute Asia today but are generally ignored by mainstream IR. Covering the Indian subcontinent Turkey the Mediterranean Iran the Arab world Ethiopia and Central-Northeast-Southeast Asia the volume draws on rich literatures to develop our understanding of power relations in the worldâs largest continent. Contributors de-colonize de-imperialize and de-Cold War the region to articulate an alternative narrative about Asia world politics and IR. This approach reframes old problems in new ways with the possibility of transforming them rather than recycling the same old approaches with the same old intractable outcomes. . Language: English
