The India that can't say yes? Weltinnenpolitik und die theorieimmanente Exklusion des Globalen Südens

In: Sicherheit & Frieden, Band 37, Heft 4, S. 203-208

Abstract

The persistence of Euro- and Western-centric universalization within the concept of Weltinnenpolitik is the cause of the theory-immanent suppression of asymmetrical power and rule relations. The nexus of postcolonial criticism and current discussions about global rule can serve as a source to deduce demands on the concept of Weltinnenpolitik, thus allowing us to critically reflect on this theory. A concept like Weltinnenpolitik must focus on resistance in order to avoid Western-centrism and more accurately depict global domination structures.
