Review Quotes:
This is a worldly and sophisticated antidote to so much that is sterile and narrow in today's International Relations. The authors have provided us with a literate and learned statement on how to view a complex world. It is an important early contribution to what should become the mainstream of International Relations. Stephen Chan, Professor of International Relations, School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London, UK
In challenging historical erasures that have been carried through violence as desire and the desire for violence, as well as the framing of discourses and the incarceration of labour in property relations, Transforming World Politics makes us think about our diminished way of life under the neoliberal imperium. The authors make the bold claim that we need to interrogate and challenge not only the 'other' but ourselves, thus creating new possibilities of moving forward together. Shirin M. Rai, Professor of Politics and International Studies, University of Warwick, UK
