N2  - "Power, Postcolonialism and International Relations uses postcolonial theory to examine the implications of race, class and gender relations for the structuring of world politics. The volume further explores postcolonial themes, such as the politics of representation, global capital and power, resistance and agency, and applies them to the study of global power asymmetries. The implications of these themes are discussed using a wide range of postcolonial readings and critiques of contemporary issues."--Jacket; "Power, Postcolonialism and International Relations uses postcolonial theory to examine the implications of race, class and gender relations for the structuring of world politics.
