ABSTRACT
Theoretical diversity is identified as the major challenge for International Relations (IR) diversification, as IR theory is described as 'almost exclusively Western'. The literature designates thematic diversity as a second area of concern. This chapter aims at investigating the existence of national differences as described in the literature (theoretical, thematic and demographic). It examines the consequences of demonstrating such specificities for the internationalisation of publication. IR literature in Brazil and India, interviews and a history of the development of IR in these countries will support the analysis. In both countries, the main objects of inquiry have been the country's foreign policy, bilateral relations and the country's role in regional and world politics. The idea that IR should give more visibility to 'scholars from the global South' brings forward the idea of a lack of representativeness of IR global scholarship in IR international publication networks. The chapter finally draws few main conclusions by investigating the question of 'non-Western' 'indigenous' IR.
