The abstract enPostcolonial theory is a non-growth international relations theory that claims to oppose the fundamental arguments of the rationalist/positive tradition, which has been dominated for many years in the discipline of international relations (UI) and which can be postpositivist/reflectivist/receptive/creative based on its methodological/epistemological position. This article aims to evaluate the post-colonial theory, taking into account the development of the discipline of international relations within the historic flow, in the context of its roots, its basic works and criticism of the current theories of international relations, and thus to ensure a better understanding of the post-colonial theory and the Turkish terminology. The article claims that the post-colonial theory that continues to develop offers a strong critical perspective on the theories of mainstream International Relations.
