Faiz Sheikh is an International Relations researcher with an interest in political theory, political Islam and global governance. His work to date has focused on the history of ideas, especially of international politics, and interrogating how international such concepts are. Assuming that in fact much of how we theorise international politics comes from more of a European – rather than international – body of knowledge, he’s interested in exploring what lies ‘outside’ this conceptualisation. His recent publication with Owen Thomas, Dynastic International Relations, examines the crisis of the Liberal International Order as a crisis of white supremacy, through engagement with Ibn Khaldun. He is the host of the Intergalactic Relations podcast.
