Аннотация:I want to raise some preliminary questions to open this roundtable discussion, and I hope we will have an extensive and very engaging discussion. First of all, Is there a need for post-Western theory? It is somewhat off-putting that we still have to ask such existential questions. Moving on from there, “Can there be a post-Western theory?; Can IR theory be widened to include global alternative voices?; How can local IR communities engage with IR theory?
