Abstract
This essay starts by outlining a definition for international criminology. To do so, akin, alternative criminologies are examined to carve a distinct, working concept of international criminology. Following, the global geopolitics of knowledge is analyzed, with specific illustrations of how the dynamics of criminological knowledge concentration, influence and visibility operate. Acknowledging an established intellectual hegemony of the North/center in criminological knowledge production, some of its features are presented in the third part of the article, thus unveiling the challenges international criminologists are faced with. Based on this examination, some rough proposals are introduced in the final section, as a prospect to fashion a truly international criminology. The main argument of this article is that both the discipline and the journal of International Criminology emerge as an alternative to supersede the present geopolitics of knowledge.
