My contribution focuses on the Western and Eurocentric origins of regionalism thinking. Through identity, I demonstrate how flawed and limiting the basis of this thinking is. I argue that connecting identity and relationality would mean adapting a methodology with a different ontological premise to conventional and even more radical IR and regionalism approaches. It would also mean allowing a diverse set of epistemologies to enter our identity exploration. Doing so would also serve Globalising IR to embrace its ambition to bring together various non-Western, postcolonial, decolonial, and more radical queer theories, as well as conventional International Relations (IR) approaches, and to bridge these approaches on topics relevant globally and beyond.
