Abstract
Subaltern geopolitics is a concept we use in this special issue to look past the binary vision of geopolitical reasoning and much critical engagement with it and to go beyond the endlessly critical nature of some critical geopolitics, to offer alternative ways of imagining and doing geopolitics. Engaging with postcolonial, feminist and anti-geopolitical interventions, the papers included here present subaltern imaginaries that offer creative alternatives to mainstream geopolitical scripts. The concept of subaltern makes direct reference to postcolonial notions of power relations, suggesting a position that is not completely other, resistant or alternative to dominant power, but instead one that occupies an ambiguous position of marginality.
