As the global economic centre of gravity is shifting from West to East, this course this course provides a rethink of global power shifts throughout history on the one hand, and explores the relations between hegemony and knowledge on the other. The course aims at exploring the main theoretical debates through a historical engagement with different phases of global power shifts and critically analysing how hegemonic powers have risen and fallen. It addresses topics like the ongoing debates on the production of hegemonic knowledge, power transitions and the rise of non-Western great powers, non-Western perspectives on international relations, and global governance.
