Refusing the false choice between objectivity and subjectivity, Himadeep Muppidi considers the production of the global as an intersubjective process involving the interplay of meanings, identities, and practices from historically different locations.       Muppidi illustrates how the politics of globalization are played out in two multicultural democracies, India and the United States-particularly rich examples given the increasing interactions between them in the areas of global economy and security. Software experts and skilled professionals flow from India to the United States; the United States outsources service sector jobs to India. Although they differ in their approaches to worldwide regulation of weapons of mass destruction, India and the United States cooperate in opposing terrorism. Treating globalization as an intersubjective process reveals the different political possibilities (e.g., colonial coercion, postcolonial ambivalence, and postcolonial co-option) that are opened by global relays of meanings, identities, and power. Muppidi concludes by exploring a variety of spaces and strategies for resisting the colonization of the global.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49626037518609,"sku":"GOR012704209","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0816642486.jpg?v=1751108037"},{"product_id":"colonial-signs-of-international-relations-book-himadeep-muppidi-9781849040150","title":"The Colonial Signs of International Relations","description":"Himadeep Muppidi's book traces the subtle influence of colonial forms of knowledge on modern schools of international relations and follows the translation and transformation of this knowledge within post colonial settings. Concentrating on the way in which individuals and institutions read their historical past in light of contemporary criticisms and concerns, Muppidi finds that certain methods for discussing or representing the colonized have become acceptable while others have been condemned. Both, however, can be equally colonial in intent and purpose, and the difference in their reception lies in the 'processes of translation' that make one visible, the other invisible, and ultimately maintain the framework of a global colonial order.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49735215186193,"sku":"NGR9781849040150","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50401093484817,"sku":"CIN184904015XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/184904015X.jpg?v=1755498526"},{"product_id":"politics-in-emotion-book-himadeep-muppidi-9780415811385","title":"Politics in Emotion","description":"The work focuses on a subaltern local sovereignty movement called \"Telangana\" in India. Over the last ten years, this movement has engaged in a massive political mobilization, including strikes, rallies, work stoppages, occupation of public spaces, electoral contests, 200 and more political suicides and media battles. But, interestingly enough, notwithstanding a political mobilization that has brought day-to-day life to a halt on a number of occasions, it has remained largely invisible in international media and global politics.   Fascinated by the social movement’s international invisibility as well as the causes and conditions of its eruption around a city\/region that has become a showcase of new capitalist development, Muppidi seeks to unpack this issue, showing that this invisibility is not just intrinsically puzzling, but also represents the operation of power on a global scale. Investigating the conditions of invisibility in this instance can therefore tell us something important about the way global power works to produce visibility and invisibility in the 21st century world.   This book provides a unique resource for students of Postcolonalism, International relations and South East Asian studies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52475917467921,"sku":"NLS9780415811385","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53035005739281,"sku":"NIN9780415811385","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415811385.jpg?v=1759843259"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-himadeep-muppidi.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
