| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article explores the possibilities of the emergence of a genuinely "post-Western," and less Eurocentric, "critical" international relations (IR) theory through a brief examination of "critical" discourses within two "non-western" cosmopolitan traditions: Islam and Sikhism. It is argued that, although critical IR has created space for the articulation of post-western discourses within the discipline, it continues to speak for and to the West. A genuinely "post-western" critical IR would seek to go beyond mere mimicry of the "derivative discourses" of the modern West by identifying critical discourses on the political from within non-western traditions. |
