Why do states deploy these forms of rhetoric in global politics? How do practitioners from the so-called non-Western world differ in their use and performance of rhetoric, and in what ways do they shape international order?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSasikumar Sundaram provides a bold new theory of rhetoric as power politics, demonstrating how non-Western states challenge their silencing within the Western-led international order. He argues that, in the deeply hierarchical international system, states in the lower rungs resort to rhetorical performances in order to be heard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough anti-imperial and anticolonial rhetorical statecraft, states such as India, Brazil, and China seek to expose and exploit the contradictions in the legitimating principles, norms, and rules of the international system—and, in so doing, pursue and exercise power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eToday, as Russia, Europe, and even the United States engage in anti-imperial and anticolonial rhetoric, Sundaram shows why lessons from the non-Western world are crucial to recognizing the dynamics of power politics and global disorder. A bracing challenge to established theories of power in international relations, \u003cem\u003eRhetorical Powers\u003c\/em\u003e underscores the need to address enduring forms of silencing within the international order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46871469064428,"sku":"9780231207836","price":68.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/8135063482270.jpg?v=1759881679"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/sasikumar-sundaram.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
