Subject: postcolonial relations


Dear subscribers,
	I am currently creating and constructing a course to do with the
impact of colonial/postcolonial processes on international affairs.  My
concerns are largely focused on inter-state structures, international law,
nation-building, and international theory.  I am relatively well-read in 
postcolonial theory.  And I am quite sensitive to the postcolonial
politics involved in contemporary international affairs.  However, to
date, there has been little writing within international
studies/international relations that takes up postcolonial studies/theory
in any strong way.  So, I have been somewhat challenged in creating the
reading list for the course.  I believe that I have enough material with
which to put on the course in a fine enough fashion.  However, I would be
interested to know if any one else out there has good recommendations for
me.
	I plan to structure the course around the following three texts
from U. of Minnesota Press:
	- Siba N. Grovogui, "Sovereigns, Quasi Sovereigns, and Africans
	- Roxanne L. Doty, "Imperial Encounters"
	- Sankaran Krishna, "Postcolonial Insecurities: India, Sri Lanka,
		and the Question of Naitonhood"
I have found some interesting articles in some of the more progressive
volumes of IR theory.  And I have found very helpful material with respect
to international law from:  Eve Darian-Smith and Peter Fitzpatrick, eds.,
"Laws of the Postcolonial" (U. of Michigan Press).  But, can any of you
recommend further articles or books that would be of interest to read in
this class?
	Please send all replies directly to my personal email address:
<frankem-AT-unbc.ca>.  I am not yet a subscriber to the postcolonial studies
list.
	Thank you very much, Mark Franke.
