The importance of mastering the tools and techniques of this paradigm or a set of relatively close paradigms is associated both with the gradual rejection of the Eurocentric vision of global and regional political history, as well as the identification of spatial and temporal features of theorizing on international issues. In this regard, it is necessary to identify the internal potential of postcolonial theory and those ontological, epistemological and methodological foundations of this theory, which will allow more concrete application of its concepts, interpretations and causalities to international realities. That is why the article attempts to single out the basic types of the postcolonial theory of international relations while revealing their key methodological principles and assessing the originality of the object and purpose of the study. On the basis of the interpretivist principles of the analysis of theories, the author reconstructs the key ontological and epistemological foundations and features of the interpretation of causal relationships in postcolonial way of thinking. The article highlights two main types of postcolonial theory - Postcolonialism of difference and Postcolonialism of interdependence. Despite the similarity in the basic desire to liberate scientific discourse from the techniques and concepts of Eurocentric science, these types of postcolonial thinking differ in the degree of willingness to break ties with the colonial past, in the requirements for the final result of the study, and also in the appreciation of space and social time in theorizing per se. Based on the identified types of postcolonial theory, the author proposes the trajectories of interaction of the theory with other schools of research in international relations, and also identifies geographically limits of these types. Thus, the article demonstrates porousness, analytical potential and adaptiveness of the discussed approaches that makes them more useful for the current IR studies.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Постколониальная теория постепенно входит в исследовательский арсенал международников, хотя пока не представлена достаточно широко в современной международно-политической науке. Важность освоения инструментов и приемов данной теоретической парадигмы или группы родственных парадигм связана как с постепенным отказом от европоцентричного видения глобальной и региональной политической истории, так и с выявлением пространственных и временных особенностей теоретизирования на международные темы. В этой связи необходимо выявить внутренний потенциал постколониальной теории и те онтологические, эпистемологические и методологические особенности этой теории, которые позволят более конкретно применять к международным реалиям имеющиеся в распоряжении данной парадигмы концепты, их интерпретации и заложенные в них причинно-следственные связи. Именно поэтому автором предложены базовые типы постколониальной теории международных отношений, а также раскрыты их узловые методологические принципы, дана оценка своеобразия объекта и цели исследования. На основании интерпретативистских принципов анализа теорий автор производит реконструкцию ключевых онтологических и эпистемологических оснований, особенностей толкования причинно-следственных связей постколониального «стиля мышления». Выделено два основных типа постколониальной теории - постколониализм различия и постколониализм взаимозависимости. Несмотря на сходство в базовом желании освободить научный дискурс от приемов и концептов европоцентричной науки, эти разновидности выстраивания постколониальной исследовательской программы различаются по степени готовности разорвать связи с колониальным прошлым, по требованиям к конечному результату исследования, а также по оценке пространства и социального времени в теоретизировании как таковом. На основе выявленных типов постколониальной теории автор намечает траектории взаимодействия этой парадигмы с другими школами исследования международных отношений, а также предлагает географически разграничить применение этих типов. Таким образом, продемонстрированы неоднородность, аналитический потенциал и адаптивность представленной парадигмы и возможности для более широкого ее применения в современных международных исследованиях.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>postcolonial theory</kwd><kwd>Postcolonialism of difference</kwd><kwd>Postcolonialism of interdependence</kwd><kwd>international relations</kwd><kwd>bifocal approach</kwd><kwd>border thinking</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>постколониальная теория</kwd><kwd>постколониализм различия</kwd><kwd>постколониализм взаимозависимости</kwd><kwd>международные отношения</kwd><kwd>бифокальный подход</kwd><kwd>пограничное мышление</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Alekseeva, T.
