Colonial, Postcolonial and Decolonial (CPD)
To join a working group you must first join BISA.
What are the colonial constitutions and inflections of global order - past and present - and how do they manifest across political, economic, cultural, psychological and intellectual domains? IR scholarship has demonstrated an increased interest in the colonial question through theoretical and substantive engagements as well as via historical and contemporary investigations. This working group provides a space for these engagements wherein the colonial question can be operationalised as the distinctive framework for inquiry. Our members currently engage with the colonial question across numerous debates in the field of IR.
