Beyond Monologue: Towards a Comparative Political Theory
Abstract
The essay advances a proposal that is addressed primarily
to theorists, but with implications for the entire profession:
the proposal to replace or supplement the rehearsal of
routinized canons with a turn to global, cross-cultural (or
“comparative”) political theorizing. I offer geopolitical and
general intellectual reasons why the turn seems appropriate
today, and I discuss a variety of theoretical or philosophical
inspirations undergirding the turn. After highlighting some
recent examples of comparative political theorizing, I conclude
by responding to critical queries as well as indicating
broader implications of the move “beyond monologue.”
