In an effort to attain a âglobalâ character, the contemporary academic discipline of International Relations (IR) increasingly seeks to surpass its Eurocentric limits, thereby opening up pathways to incorporate non-Eurocentric worldviews. Lately, many of the non-Eurocentric worldviews have emerged which either engender a âderivativeâ discourse of the same Eurocentric IR theories, or construct an âexceptionalistâ discourse which is particularly applicable to the narrow experiential realities of a native time-space zone: as such, they fall short of the ambition to produce a genuinely ânon-derivativeâ and ânon-exceptionalistâ Global IR theory.

Against this backdrop, Sufism: A Theoretical Intervention in Global International Relations performs a multidisciplinary research to explore how âSufismâ â" as an established non-Western philosophy with a remarkable temporal-spatial spread across the globe â" facilitates a creative intervention in the theoretical understanding of Global IR.
