Anthropocene in international relations

This perspective is essential for understanding South Asia’s changing political and climate situations.

As students of international relations, we were socialised into mainstream ideas, including theories ranging from realism to constructivism, political thought, geopolitics, geo-economics, various forms of power (soft, hard and smart), and the roles of state and non-state actors and so on. Currently, we have been reimagining our course content and recognising a significant academic movement toward incorporating the Anthropocene in international relations in South Asia.
