Canadian, Australian, and British scholars of international relations explore how their discipline persists in being dominated by the interests and biases of American scholars. Covering hegemony and diversity in international thought, national and trans-national identities in inter-national theory, and toward diversity in international thought, they focus on such aspects as identity politics, postmodern feminisms, and international theory; the continental experience of hegemony and autonomy; transcending national identity; and beyond international relations with Edward Said.
