Against this backdrop, this book to be edited by Amitav Acharya and Diana Tussie will explore new and changing Latin American contributions that have relevance for the project of redefining and broadening IR theory. Our goal is not merely to establish what is unique or distinct in Latin American context in these and other areas. This is important, but what is even more important is to find ways to link them and compare them with more general theoretical trends and explanations. Moreover, the goal of the workshop is not to engage in bland theory-testing or to apply established concepts in mainstream IR about power, institutions and ideas, to a Latin American context and make minor adjustments to make them fit better. The goal is rather to identify and conceptualize Latin American ideas, voices and relationships on their own terms and assess their relationship with those we find in existing IR theory.
