Routledge Global Indigenous Politics: A Subtle Revolution - Routledge

This Routledge book examines how Indigenous peoples' rights and movements represent a significant yet often overlooked shift in international politics, challenging powerful states across the globe. Rather than viewing Indigenous peoples as marginal non-state actors, the author argues that global Indigenous politics is forging major changes in the international system by fundamentally reshaping concepts of sovereignty, territoriality, liberalism, and human rights. The work explores the resistance from dominant powers and reveals how the implementation of Indigenous peoples' rights requires complete re-thinking and re-ordering of the structures that underpin modern international relations. Part of the Worlding Beyond the West series, this book offers critical insights into how Indigenous movements are transforming global political discourse and challenging Western-centric frameworks in international law and governance.
