SUMMARY:Provincializing Security community: On geopolitics of knowledge and
  epistemic privilege
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored with the Asia Center\n\nOne of the widely recogniz
 ed (albeit\, by no means foolproof\,) measurements of analytical usefulnes
 s of a theoretical concept is whether it could ‘travel’\, i.e. whether
  it will be applicable beyond particular historical\, political\, or geogr
 aphical context that it first emerged. The concept of “security communit
 y”\, a community of states and by extension of people that neither expec
 t nor prepare for war with one another due to shared common belief that co
 nflicts will be resolved peacefully was popularized in the 1950s and prima
 rily intended for the areas termed “North Atlantic”: the US\, Canada\,
  the UK and most of continental Europe. Numerous scholars since then re-im
 agined the concept and tested it in other regions to try to extend its use
  in International Relations. The key question remains: to what extent coul
 d an idea born out of seemingly insular imagination of history and imbued 
 with privilege of conceptual invention while already being a part of what 
 success should look like partake in increasingly global IR?\n\nThis resear
 ch poses questions to preconditions interwoven in the construction process
  enabling some concepts to ‘travel’ as well as contributes to the deba
 te regarding Eurocentrism at the heart of International Relations discipli
 ne.
