Interview with Aram Ziai on post-colonialism

Dr. Aram Ziai gave a lecture in IIR (in cooperation with RESAREAS project) on post-colonial theory and we took this chance to interview him for Mezinárodní politika, our online periodical. In his opinion, the international relations as a field are too Eurocentric and should include the theories originated in other parts of the world. He claims there is a double standard between how history books treat wars versus how they discuss colonisation (explained on the example of German secondary-school history textbooks). In the end, he expresses his hope that this scientific discipline will change when the thinking and underlying logic shifts to be more fair to the colonised people as well as post-colonial thinkers.
