Islamabad Policy Research Institute (IPRI) organised a webinar on “Decolonising the Discourse in International Relations”. Usama Zamani started the discussion by saying that for many decades now the decolonised world has been decolonised in form nevertheless it still remains to be colonised in substance. To this end, it is important to discuss prospects of decolonisation of narratives. International relations as a discipline also remain dominated by discourse shaped primarily by western experience and intellectual ideas.
