ABSTRACT
This chapter explores how the idea of stateless globalisation may reproduce Eurocentrism by naturalising the lack of agency of 'non-Western' actors based on the case of the narrative of Western dominance and globalisation of knowledge. It shows how the transnationalisation of the second generation of Brazilian International Relations (IR) scholars is the cornerstone of the shift of practices. In the case of IR in Brazil and India, the transnationalisation is conditioned upon national policies, including but not restricted to internationalisation policies. The chapter presents the main factors supporting the transnationalisation and enabling/constraining IR scholars to adopt the different publication models. It also explores four factors: higher education public policies, the criteria for research evaluation, the attractiveness of the academic field in regards to policy-oriented research and the capacity of the national publishing market to fulfil scholars' needs. In contrast to the narrative of Western dominance, the chapter shows that IR publication and internationalisation patterns stem from the national context.
