Title: Post-Western International Relations Reconsidered
Description: This study offers a critique of international relations from the perspective of eminent pre-modern Chinese thinker Gongsun Long. Shedding new light on the interconnected epistemological, ontological, and political dimensions of his thought, Shih and Yu consider a pressing question of our time: how to conceptualize political order in the globalized contemporary world. Gongsun Long's approach in many ways prefigures postmodern thinking, and his writings inspire critical reflections on globalization.
