“…Many critical and postcolonial IR scholars have taken up this challenge, writing from and about different geopolitical and intellectual places. My purpose here is to join that conversation by drawing the ''coloniality of power'' scholarship into the discussion (along with, for example, Rojas (2007) who focuses on the question of development). This body of work is highly relevant not only because it dovetails with existing critical IR but also because it refers explicitly to experiences and power relations in the Americas.…”

This article joins a growing chorus of voices aiming to decolonize International Relations. It argues that the location of Latin America is ideally placed to bring a significant critique of IR because of its intimate relationship to one of conventional IR?s key protagonists: the USA. The analysis involves thinking about the USA from a historical and theoretical position in Latin America, exploring the always intimate relationship between the two. It draws its inspiration particularly from Latin American theorization of the ?coloniality of power?, and explores two decolonial strategies: thinking about the emergence of a globally powerful USA through coloniality theorizing; and examining the political possibilities of ?border thinking? and ?diversality? within the ?colonial difference? for a decolonial IR. The article seeks to open a field of discussion which positions Latin America as a site for critical thinking and action, and a heartland of decolonial struggle.Peer reviewe

“…A notable exception is provided by Clarke et al (2015: 218), who proposed the ''ethic and politics'' of policy translation. They clothe the research of policy mobility with the explicit ''ethic'' which calls on researchers to open up space for alternative narratives and ''policies otherwise'' (Rojas, 2007). This is, however, different from the discussion of politics and ethics in research methodology.…”

“…' Klotzbucher (2014), in the context of his fieldwork in China, also argues that researchers may need to be ''obedient'' and go with what the governments or clients want, but they at the very least need to be reflexive about their choices and the silences, or the policy options which could have been put in place otherwise and produce ''policies otherwise'' (Clarke et al, 2015). One may indeed envision the notion of ''policies otherwise'' with a normative charge to it, that of uncovering, problematizing, and offering counter-hegemonic narratives (Gould, 2004;Mukhtarov, 2016;Rojas, 2007).…”

Political and ethical aspects in the ethnography of policy translation: Research experiences from Turkey and China

2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A currently burgeoning literature in planning and policy studies engages with the travel of policy models across countries and sites through novel concepts such as policy translation, policy mobility, and mutations. Increasingly, this literature calls for ethnographic methods to study the travel of policy models. Such methods require various degrees of researcher's participation in the policy process. As a result, ethnographers become entangled in complex webs of relationships during and after their fieldwork, which introduces political and ethical dimensions to ethnographic fieldwork. The literature on policy mobilities and translation, however, has provided few practical guidelines regarding the politics and ethics of conducting ethnographic research. Based on two vignettes from our research experiences in China and Turkey, we discuss the politics and ethics of applying ethnography to policy translation and offer a number of hints for future researchers.

“…"Knowledge otherwise", following Rojas' plea for a "political economy and development otherwise" (Rojas 2007) can best be framed as an "ethico-political" (Rojas 2007, 585) or "moral-political" project. Revalidating "alternative knowledges and rationalities" (Clarke et al 2015, 195) necessitates a move beyond "capitalocentric" expertise (Gibson-Graham 2008).…”
