Alternatively, this book explores the global imperial and colonial context within which knowledge of modernity has been developed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chapters sketch out the historical depth and contemporary significance of non-Western thought on modernity, as well as the rich diversity of its individuals, groups, movements and traditions. The contributors theoretically and substantively engage with non-Western thought in ways that refuse to render it exotic to, superfluous to or derivative of the orthodox Western canon of social and political thought. Taken as a whole, the book provides deep insights into the contested nature of a global modernity shaped so fundamentally by Western colonialism and imperialism. Now, as ever, these insights are desperately needed for a discipline that is so closely implicated in Western foreign policy making and yet retains such a myopic horizon of inquiry. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work provides a significant contribution to the field and will be of great interest to all scholars of politics, political theory and international relations theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobbie Shilliam\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Senior Lecturer in International Relations at Victoria University of Wellington.
