Abstract
Definitions based on First, second and third worlds, North-South, East-West, CenterPeriphery are not empirical reflections of outside reality independent of knowledge, but are politically constructed symbols at the core of power struggle in international relations. If one part of international relations is to gain relative advantage on the control of material capabilities, another important aspect of it is to control meanings of symbols, for symbol hierarchy is at least as important as material power hierarchy. Using the theoretical contributions of the English School and Critical Geography, this study presents a critical analysis against European-centric sovereigny concept that seeks hegemonic control on global power relations while excluding othered commons constituted bu rest of the world.
