International Relations (IR) has struggled to foster different ways of seeing and encountering the world that can help it generate meaningful answers to the pressing questions of our times. Responding to this call, the article undertakes a worlding of the concept of normative power in the hope of decentring of the study of world affairs. The analysis outlines a possible framework for normative power beyond the Eurocentric frame through a parallel assessment of normative power Europe and normative power China. Such a move brings in dialogue the form and substance of the languages and experiences of the diverse infinitely complex worlds cohabiting in global life. The article concludes by evoking these registers of worlding mutuality in order to elaborate the ways in which a relational knowledgeproduction defines the contested terrain of post-Western IR as a space for dialogical learning, which encourages engagements with the possibilities afforded by the interactions of multiple worlds, while privileging the experience and narratives of neither of them. This move implies that things in global life are not merely interconnected, but that they gain meaning and significance within complex webs of entanglements and encounters with others.
