Abstract :I want to raise some preliminary questions to open this roundtable discussion, and I hope we will have an extensive and very engaging discussion. First of all, `Is there a need for post-Western theory?` It is somewhat off-putting that we still have to ask such existential questions. Moving on from there, “Can there be a post-Western theory?`; `Can IR theory be widened to include global alternative voices?`; `How can local IR communities engage with IR theory?`
Keywords : Homegrown Theorizing, post Western theory, IR community, non Western IR
