This book asks what it means to think globally about world politics. In an attempt to contextualize the recent ‘globalizing turn’ in International Relations (IR), the book takes stock of 30 plus years of efforts at addressing IR’s Eurocentric limitations and explores what ‘thinking globally’ means in practice through focusing on the study of (international) security and foreign policy.
