Globalizing Political Theory is guided by the need to understand political theory as deeply embedded in local networks of power, identity, and structure, and to examine how these networks converge and diverge with the global. With the help of this book, students of political theory no longer need to learn about ideas in a vacuum with little or no attention paid to how such ideas are responses to varying local political problems in different places, times, and contexts.
Key features include:
- Central Conceptual Framework: Introducing readers to what it means to -globalize- political theory and to move beyond the traditional western canon and actively engage with a multiplicity of perspectives.
- Organization: Focused on key topics essential for an introductory class aimed at both globalizing political theory and showing how political theory itself is a globalizing activity.
- Themes: Colonialism and Empire; Gender and Sexuality; Religion
