Routledge Handbook of Postcolonial Politics

Abstract

This chapter considers the following question: Should ‘security’ be a point of departure when thinking about the postcolonial? In considering this question, I will focus on recent debates on cosmopolitanism and security. Cosmopolitan approaches to security have focused on concerns with the security of peoples beyond one’s own borders plus the global environment (Linklater, 2005, Burke, 2013). Doing so while avoiding treating the postcolonial in a top-down manner (i.e. by presuming to know the best ways to address security in the global South) has turned out to be a challenge for students of world politics.
