DESCRIPTION:There is a burgeoning debate on how relations between the West
  and the non-West will be governed in an international order moving toward
 s multipolarity. We argue that a significant terrain of contestation acros
 s the West/ non-West divide is history and temporality. Populist governmen
 ts in the non-West are contesting the linear visions of history that presu
 me their backwardness and seeking to replace them with cyclical visions wh
 ere an idealized (distant) past of their independence from and domination 
 over the West is to be realized in the future. This form of chronopolitics
 \, which is conditioning the present foreign policy choices of many non-We
 stern states\, is being contested in various ways by populist and liberal 
 actors in the West as well as liberal actors in the non-West. In this pape
 r\, we identify and conceptualize these different chronopolitical strategi
 es and discuss how Historical IR can play a critical role in this complex 
 terrain of contestation. We illustrate our arguments by focusing on select
  encounters in Turco-European Relations during the 19th and early 20th cen
 turies.
