Resumen
Abstract
For several decades, the field of International Relations (IR) has incorporated critical agendas that question its dominant narrative and seek epistemological alternatives. Currents such as feminism, postcolonialism, poststructuralism, decolonial theory, Black radical theory, and Indigenous perspectives have highlighted IR's biases, Western and US hegemony, and the epistemic violence derived from positivism as the sole criterion of scientificity. Likewise, studies produced outside the North/West show the disconnect between central theories and global political experiences. These critiques share a concern about marginalization and exclusion within the discipline and call for a thematic, theoretical, and epistemological opening that would make IR a more plural and global field.
