Gaming Borderless Internationalism: How to 'Interlocalise' Global System Using Ujamaa Epistemology

This article develops a proposed unifying theoretical framework for the concept of '_interlocalisation'_ as an explanatory adjustment to the hegemonic concept of internationalization. This is a response to an exploratory study by Francis Onditi, '_Futuring an 'Inclusive Knowledge Futures' framework beyond IR theories_', aimed at elucidating Afrocentric international studies scholars' understanding of Africa's futures that emboldens both local and global value systems. In the current article, '_interlocalisation'_ is defined as a process of creating a seamless linkage between local epistemologies and international knowledge systems. In this system of knowledge production and consumption, institutions and debates shift from the national scale to the global scale and downwards to the local level. In this proliferation and restless knowledge scaling it remains blurred whether the local African epistemologies and knowledge networks are capable of becoming simultaneously more globalised and transnational. In this article, we utilize the gaming model to pay more attention to the politics of African epistemology (Ujamaa) and its implication on this geographical reconfiguration of the international system.
