In this week’s episode, Kosuke Shimizu speaks with the Think globally team on the Kyoto School and ‘non-Western’ international relations. With Kieran (@kieranjomeara) and Edoardo, Prof. Shimizu explores how we can cast ‘non-Western’ international relations, how the Kyoto School of Philosophy can help us think about global politics, the concept of ‘relationality’, and the way ‘non-Western’ Thinking about international relations intersects with certain methodological questions.
Professor Kosuke Shimizu (@caatc105) is a professor of international relations at Ryukoku University, Kyoto. He currently works at the intersection of Buddhism, quantum physics and international relations. His recent publications include ‘Buddhism and the Question of Relationality in International Relations’ (International relations2021), ‘Political Healing and Mahāyāna Buddhist Medicine: A Critical Engagement with Contemporary International Relations’ (Quarterly Report of the Third World, 2021). His most recent book, The Kyoto School and International Relations: Non-Western Efforts for a New World Order (Routledge, 2022) examines the Kyoto School’s challenge to transcend ‘Western’ domination over the ‘rest’ of the world, and the problems this raises for contemporary ‘non-Western’ and ‘Global IR’ literature.
Thinking Global is available on all major podcast platforms.
