Abstract

Pearcey draws on a discursive interpretation of European civilization to reflect critically on disciplinary origin stories, especially that of the ‘orthodox’ English School. Inspired by a wave of more ‘critical’ English School scholarship, Pearcey outlines the purpose of his study, to detail a simultaneous process of exclusion and inclusion in the historical and contemporary relations between indigenous peoples and international society.
