Professors Barry Buzan and Amitav Acharya in conversation with Dr. Dan Plesch about their research and work editing the groundbreaking book "Non-Western International Relations Theory: Perspectives On and Beyond Asia", chaired by Dr Meera Sabaratnam. The work argues that given that the world has moved well beyond the period of Western colonialism, and clearly into a durable period in which non-Western cultures have gained their political autonomy, it is long past time that non-Western voices had a higher profile in debates about international relations, not just as disciples of Western schools of thought, but as inventors of their own approaches.
