Biography
Dr Mallavarapu joined the Centre Faculty in 2004. He completed his doctoral thesis on the politics of norm creation in the context of an Advisory Opinion rendered by the International Court of Justice in 1996 on nuclear weapon threat or use. His principal area of academic focus is International Relations theory. Dr Mallavarapu retains a special interest in issues related to the postcolonial �politics of knowledge� and is conscious of examining the claims advanced in the discipline of International Relations through these lenses. His immediate teaching commitments include M.Phil. courses on Culture, Norms and Identity in World Politics and Globalization and the State. He has co-edited two books on recent Indian contributions to International Relations theory. Prior to this, he has also contributed articles reflecting on the implications of the July 1996 Advisory Opinion on dimensions of the Indian nuclear programme.
