Routledge handbook of postcolonial politics

Engagements with the postcolonial world by International Relations (IR) scholars have grown significantly in recent years. 'The Routledge Handbook of Postcolonial Politics' will provide a solid reference point for understanding and analysing global politics from a perspective sensitive to the multiple legacies of colonialism and colonial rule.

The handbook will introduce and develop cutting-edge analytical frameworks that extend but also problematise the postcolonial critique.

Alongside empirical issue areas that remain crucial to assessing the impact of European and Western colonialism on global politics, the handbook will introduce new issue areas wherein the mutating structures of colonial rule are no longer enacted solely or directly by European or Western agents.
