Virtually all pertinent issues that the world faces today – such
as nuclear proliferation, climate change, the spread of
infectious disease and economic globalization – imply objects
that move. However, surprisingly little is known about how the
actual objects of world politics are constituted, how they move
and how they change while moving. This book addresses these
questions through the concept of 'translation' – the simultaneous
processes of object constitution, transportation and
transformation. Translations occur when specific forms of
knowledge about the environment, international human rights norms
or water policies consolidate, travel and change.

World Politics in Translation conceptualizes 'translation'
for International Relations by drawing on theoretical insights
from Literary Studies, Postcolonial Scholarship and Science and
Technology Studies. The individual chapters explore how the
concept of translation opens new perspectives on development
cooperation, the diffusion of norms and organizational templates,
the performance in and of international organizations or the
politics of international security governance.
