Critical IR and Security Studies: the postcolonial challenge

Critical theories have made important headway into the study of IR in the past three decades, identifying the limitations of the more traditional approaches.   However, notwithstanding manifold contributions of critical theorizing IR and security, some of these limitations have remained. This course is designed to take stock of the achievements of Critical IR and Security Studies in light of the postcolonial challenge. More specifically, the course will introduce the postcolonial contributions to the study of global politics, more specifically, IR and Security Studies.
