Rezensionen

"Globalizing Political Theory is a timely and rigorous volume that effectively deprovincializes intellectual histories of political thought. The editors have curated engaging conversations across time and space that show how thinkers responding to differing local contexts produced ideas and concepts that resonate beyond them."

Juliet Hooker, Professor of Political Science, Brown University

"Among the most urgent missions of political theory today is to deepen its engagement with forms of thought, knowledge, and imagination beyond the Western canon. Scholars have now been doing this in greater numbers and with greater rigor for almost two decades. But debates still persist about the most urgent priorities for this mission, and the most appropriate methods and tools. This volume is an outstanding introduction to these debates for an undergraduate or graduate level, with chapters by some of the top emerging scholars working in non-Western and decolonial thought."

Andrew F. March, Professor of Political Science, University of Massachusetts, Amherst

"Like it or not, political theory has always been global. From excavating unrecognized prehistory to plumbing contemporary transnational resonances, this essential volume brings to light what is so often hidden, and in so doing helps craft a political theory made to the measure of the world."

George Maher, Visiting Associate Professor of Global Political Thought, Vassar College

"This volume offers new perspectives on a range of familiar political issues, from a range of modern thinkers from across the world. It will definitely disrupt business-as-usual in the teaching and practice of political theory."

Leigh K. Jenco, Professor of Political Theory London School of Economics and Political Science
