Global Theory Does Not Believe in Tears

This text is Martin Müller’s response to the comments on his article “In Search of the Global East” by Adam Leszczyński, Jan Sowa, Magda Szcześniak, and Tomasz Zarycki. The author defends in it the perspective of the Global East, advocating for three ways to further intervene in the geopoli-tics of knowledge: revising existing concepts and theories (instead of emulating them), conducting comparative rese-arch beyond the Global East, and extending the theory to geographic areas other than Eastern.
