Abstract: 

Uneven distribution of 
resources and unequal access to power in the current phase of
postcolonial late capitalism has spurred a range of critical discourses
globally that has led to the formation of “transnational counterpublic spheres”.
These counterpublics facilitate interests of disenfranchised groups to become
visible and audible. However, counterpublics are also spheres of power that
replicate mechanisms of exclusion. My paper aims to explore, on the one hand,
to what extent transnational counterpublic spheres succeed in facilitating
resistance and agency, enabling marginalized collectives to find a “voice” in
international politics. On the other hand the mechanisms of exclusion will be
investigated that obstruct the inclusion of subaltern groups.
