{"product_id":"kautilya-and-non-western-ir-theory-deepshikha-shahi-9783030017279","title":"Kautilya and Non-Western IR Theory","description":"The ancient Indian text of \u003ci\u003eKautilya's Arthaśāstra\u003c\/i\u003e comes forth as a valuable non-Western resource for understanding contemporary International Relations (IR). However, \u003ci\u003eKautilya's Arthaśāstra\u003c\/i\u003e largely suffers from the problem of 'presentism', whereby present-day assumptions of the dominant theoretical models of Classical Realism and Neorealism are read back into it, thereby disrupting open reflections on \u003ci\u003eKautilya's Arthaśāstra\u003c\/i\u003e which could retrieve its 'alternative assumptions' and 'unconventional traits'. This book attempts to enable \u003ci\u003eKautilya's Arthaśāstra\u003c\/i\u003e to break free from the problem of presentism - it does so by juxtaposing the elements of continuity and change that showed up at different junctures of the life-history of both '\u003ci\u003eKautilya's Arthaśāstra\u003c\/i\u003e' and 'Eurocentric IR'. The overall exploratory venture leads to a Kautilyan non-Western eclectic theory of IR - a theory which moderately assimilates miscellaneousresearch traditions of Eurocentric IR, and, in addition, delivers a few innovative features that could potentially uplift not only Indian IR, but also Global IR.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deepshikha Shahi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030017273\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030017279\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave Pivot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 167\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.44d","brand":"Deepshikha Shahi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47305467166975,"sku":"9783030017279","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6c1aa9df-8e55-40d3-9cdb-8a9b8c7b80ee.jpg?v=1758830963","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kautilya-and-non-western-ir-theory-deepshikha-shahi-9783030017279","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
