This reader is a collection of first-rate theoretical engagements relating to International Relations from across India. The class character of contemporary international law, reassessing the conceptual foundations of imperialism, mapping human security, evaluating the ‘gaze’ of Orientalism and defending the analytical relevance of gender as a lens to examine national security are issues covered in the theoretical ambit of this volume. The book also addresses two other core issues: contesting the Delhi-centricity of the discipline and acknowledging the relevance of theory to policy.

Kanti Bajpai was Professor of Disarmament Studies, School of International Studies, JNU, until 2003, when he was appointed Principal of Doon School. 

Siddharth Mallavarapu holds a Ph.D. in International Relations Studies from JNU and is currently Associate Professor at JNU.
