Abstract

In his inaugurating speech at the Bandung Conference in 1955, Sukarno plucked out the League against Imperialism as an intellectual and organisational forebear. Yet, while this rightly situated Bandung in a longer history of anti-colonial activity, the discontinuities between these two conferences are equally illuminating. This article sets out to establish one of the legacies of Bandung by tracing backwards rather than forwards. I argue that while the League against Imperialism represented a more diffuse and de-territorialised vision of anti-imperialism, by the time of Bandung, the route from anti-colonialism to post-colonialism was clear: it ran through the territorial nation-state. Thus, the principal contribution of this article to this special issue is to draw attention to this legacy of territorialisation in Bandung. I trace some principal international ‘pulls’ that drove the push towards territoriality. Moreover, I contest the characterisation of Bandung as creating a “pluralist” international order since it rested on this consolidation around a territorial nation-state monoculture in global politics.

Abstract

This special issue aims to reflect on the legacies of the Bandung Conference in its 70th anniversary for the emerging multipolar world order. Seven articles in this special issue unpacks the many legacies of the Bandung Conference: from the epistemic visions of a new international order based on self-determination, sovereign equality, and postcolonial justice to the reshaping of the foreign policy of the ‘global south’ countries. We build on the legacies and pitfalls of the Bandung Conference to rethink what it means by, and what should be done for, the decolonisation agenda in world politics. We argue that the Bandung Conference has been able, primarily, to rethink the structure of international politics by embracing three visions of decolonisation: a political vision of territorial sovereignty and self-determination, an economic vision of equality and justice, and an epistemic vision for cultural and intellectual liberation from colonial legacies. However, these visions of decolonisation are threatened by the return of great power politics, sphere of influence, and the further marginalisation of the global south in an emerging multipolar world order. We argue that the global south needs to use opportunities from the multipolar world order to reassert their voices and agencies while at the same time critical of, and rejecting, the underlying imperial logic of the great powers. This special issue lays out some lessons from the Bandung Conference for a multipolar world order in three key sites of new global struggle: a political struggle to defend sovereignty, an economic struggle for global justice, and an intellectual struggle for equal knowledge production. These are the new Bandung visions for a multipolar world order.

Abstract

The United States–China trade war placed Vietnam in a strategic yet vulnerable position, as a non-involved country that significantly benefited from trade and investment relocation. This situation contributed to Vietnam’s relative capability growth and created new space for asserting its role in regional economic and political structures. This article analyzes Vietnam’s foreign policy strategy in response to the rivalry between two great powers by applying a geo-economic approach and qualitative research methods. The findings reveal that Vietnam adopts a hedging strategy by undertaking active neutrality, contradictory policy—simultaneously accepting and rejecting dominance—and by diversifying its global partnerships to preserve policy autonomy. Vietnam’s hedging reflects both a function of national interest protection and an effort to leverage the opportunity created by relative capability enhancement amidst structural uncertainty. Thus, hedging emerges as a relevant geo-economic instrument for middle states in navigating major power competition while maintaining strategic space and sovereign decision-making.

Abstract

The Zapatistas, emerging in the early 1990s in Chiapas, Mexico, advocate for indigenous autonomy, participatory democracy, and social justice, offering a powerful critique of neoliberal globalization. Their decentralized governance model, based on autonomous municipalities known as "caracoles," emphasizes collective consensus, horizontalism, and grassroots self-governance, challenging conventional power structures. This study utilizes qualitative research through literature analysis and frames its discussion within critical perspective. By critiquing neoliberal policies and advocating for indigenous dignity and autonomy, the Zapatistas underscore the detrimental impacts of globalization on marginalized communities, presenting a broader struggle against capitalist exploitation. It explores the Zapatistas’ ideological foundations, strategic resistance to NAFTA, and its critique of neoliberal globalization highlighting its significance for global social movements. The movement’s unique operational model contrasts with Mexico's hierarchical systems, promoting local authority and community empowerment. The Zapatistas' commitment to gender equality, education, healthcare, and improved living standards reflects their vision of a pluralistic and inclusive society. Their slogan, "a world where many worlds fit," continues to inspire contemporary social movements worldwide, advocating for a just and equitable society.

Abstract

Since the colonial epoch, Africa has functioned as a crucible wherein global powers vie for influence and access to resources, imprinting enduring ramifications on the continent's international relations. Despite attaining political autonomy, Africa grapples with the persistent specters of neocolonialism and economic exploitation. The advent of Great Powers-Africa Summits marks a discernible juncture in global geopolitics, engendering discourse surrounding their underlying motivations and operational modalities. Critics caution that these summits risk perpetuating colonial vestiges, thereby potentially disenfranchising African agency while enabling continued exploitation. This study adopts a postcolonial analytical framework to comparatively scrutinize the Russia-Africa, China-Africa, and France-Africa summits, probing their historical antecedents, motivating factors, and resultant impacts. By advocating for more equitably configured paradigms of international engagement vis-à-vis Africa, this inquiry endeavors to foster the empowerment of African states, foregrounding imperatives of sovereignty, developmental progress, and dignified agency. By examining colonial legacies, divergent impetuses, consequential ramifications, and prospective models of collaborative engagement, this scholarly exposition furnishes nuanced insights into the negotiation of intricate postcolonial power dynamics and the advancement of African prerogatives within the global milieu.

Abstract

This paper attempts to understand the contemporary discourse of subalternity and global south, particularly through the lens of Southeast Asian marginalized muslim communities, the Bangsamoro of Philippines and Rohingya of Myanmar. This is  to understand the deeper hierachal divide within the Global South that threaten the ‘South Solidarity’, and straying away from the mainstream North-South discussion. his paper identify those groups as ‘subaltern of the subaltern’, a smaller group of subalter who has been systematically discriminated by the larger or more dominant group. This research employs the concept of Subalternity to understand on what basis a group is assigned the identity of being a subaltern, and understanding the discussion of Subalternity in the field of International Relations studies. This research employs literature review as its primary methodology. This paper finds a deeper hierarchal divide withing countries of Global South which manifests in communities coined as ‘subaltern of subaltern’, or those who are marginalized within Global South. This implication casts doubts upon the sustainability of the ‘South Solidarity’ agenda.This paper attempts to understand the contemporary discourse of subalternity and global south, particularly through the lens of Southeast Asian marginalized muslim communities, the Bangsamoro of Philippines and Rohingya of Myanmar.

Abstract

Amid growing global awareness of historical justice and the rights of formerly colonized nations in the Global South over their cultural heritage, the repatriation of colonial cultural objects has become increasingly prominent in Dutch foreign policy. This article analyzes how official Dutch discourse constructs representations of former colonies in government documents concerning cultural object repatriation between 2020 and 2024. Through qualitative content analysis, applying Herrmann et al.'s (1997) image theory, the study identifies narrative patterns that combine recognition of ownership rights with emphasis on procedures and cooperation mechanisms within Dutch policy frameworks. The findings reveal a discursive shift from colonial-era imagery toward partnership rhetoric, yet paternalistic concerns regarding technical standards, conservation, and governance capabilities persist. This representation frames repatriation as an asymmetrical cultural cooperation rather than mere object return. The study contributes to postcolonial international relations scholarship by demonstrating how repatriation discourse serves as an arena for negotiating meaning, legitimacy, and power relations between former colonial powers and newly sovereign states.
