Routledge Virtual Book Launch: International Studies in the Philippines

Join us for a virtual book launch which will map horizons of non-Western approaches in Philippine experiences of International Relations.

About this Event

How can local experiences and the social transformation generated by modernity help to enrich our understanding of the international? What might a version of the much-discussed “non-Western International Relations (IR)” look like? What continuities and discontinuities from the Philippine experience in particular can be useful for understanding other post-colonial polities? The Philippines makes a fascinating case study of a medium-sized, developing, post-colonial, multi-ethnic and multi-cultural state in Southeast Asia.
