Marta Iñiguez de Heredia and Zubairu Wai, Recentering Africa in International Relations: Beyond Lack, Peripherality, and Failure
Abstract
The discipline of International Relations (IR) is currently witnessing a sustained critique geared
towards exposing the parochial origins of its epistemic orientation, namely Eurocentrism. As a system
of knowledge production, Eurocentrism establishes Europe as the key referential figure in world
history, from which all non-Western experiences and events are derived and subsequently hierarchized
in their temporal and political significance.
