Comparative Political Theory and Universalism

Abstract

Comparative political theory has tended to focus on examining thoughts and utterances from different geographic and cultural traditions, (Tully, 2016), including indigenous peoples, but this panel broadens this to other areas. For example, feminist theory, queer theory, disability theory, and so on. Are these part of the same political theory tradition or are they now comparative, in terms of their methodological approaches (do they have different methodological approahes?). If we consider them sub-categories of political theory, then what is distinct about PT from other traditions that makes it fall under the category of ‘comparative’, when these other forms do not?
