Preview International Orders in the Early Modern World: Before the Rise of the West
An outstanding volume of non-Eurocentric historical-sociological essays that advances an extremely powerful critique of the English School’s commitment towhatIcallthe‘Eurocentric bigbangtheoryofworld politics’–thatthebig bang of modernity explodedautonomously within Europe and that thereafter European ‘civilization’ expanded outwards in a non-problematic way to remake the world in its own image – by deploying the antidote of bringing Eastern agency back into the story of the long-term development of world politics. John M. Hobson, Professor of Politics and International Relations, University of Sheffield, UK Perhaps ‘1648 and all that’ fundamentally distorts our understanding of the history of international relations. By rediscovering early modern and non- western international orders, this expert team sets out a challenge to IR scholarship. It is especially welcome and important in making sense of the profound changes currently underway. Ian Clark, E. H. Carr Professor of International Politics, Aberystwyth University Maps centered on the South Pole are amusing, but international relations books centered on the non-Western world are essential. From its origins, international relations theory has been a Western enterprise with other parts of the world largely ignored or analyzed through parochial and often inap- propriate conceptions. Suzuki, Zhang, Quirk and their collaborators turn the tablesandofferperspectivesonEuropefromEastAsia,theMiddleEast,Africa and Latin America, and generally at a time when European interlopers were unable to impose their preferences on these cultures. They effectively demon- strate the importance of non-Western cultures and their ideas in shaping global history Richard Ned Lebow, Professor of International Political Theory, King’s College London, UK This page intentionally left blank International Orders in the Early Modern World ThisbookexaminesthehistoricalinteractionsoftheWestandthenon-Western world, and investigates whether or not the exclusive adoption of Western- oriented ‘internationalnorms’istheprerequisite for theconstruction ofstable and enduring international orders. This book sets out to challenge the Eurocentric foundations of modern International Relations scholarship by examining international relations in the early modern era, when European primacy had yet to develop in many parts of the globe. Through a series of regional case studies on East Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Russiawritten by leading specialists of their field, this book explores various historical patterns of cross-cultural exchange and civilizational encounters. The chapters of this book document and analyse a series of regional international orders that were primarily defined by local interests, agendas and institutions, with European interlopers often playing a secondary role. These perspectives emphasize the central role ofnon-Europeanagencyinshapingglobalhistory,andstandinstarkcontrast toconventionalnarrativesrevolvingaroundthe‘RiseoftheWest’,whichtend to be based upon a stylized contrast between a dynamic ‘West’ and a passive and static ‘East’. Focusing on a crucial period of global history that has been neglected in the field of International Relations, International Orders in the Early Modern World will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations, international relations theory, international history, early modern history and sociology.
