Hegemony and Discourse examines contemporary theories and practices of international relations from a non-Western perspective and suggests some tentative and intriguing conclusions about the complex relationship between discourse and hegemony. The first part of the book examines the burning global issues, in what the author calls, the post post-Cold War period. The second part scrutinizes the political ideas of a 14th century Afro-Muslim thinker, Ibn-Khaldun. His works are analyzes in the context of the discourse on modernity to demonstrate a longstanding tradition of hegemonic discourse in Western historiography and the contemporary relevance of his ideas.
