Posthuman International Relations: Complexity, Ecologism and Global Politics

Abstract

In recent years, together with the influence of complexity thinking, actor-network theory and critical animal studies, posthumanism has advanced as a new concept within International Relations. Posthumanism can be considered as providing a challenge to anthropocentrism, that is, the idea that the human is the centre of all things, whereas nature is seen as something outside and apart from human experience. Across the disciplines, anthropocentric thinking has been a central feature, though we would argue that international relations has been particularly negligent in this regard.
