L. H. M. Ling

L. H. M. "Lily" Ling (14 November 1955 – 1 October 2018) was a political theorist and scholar whose work focused around the theory of worldism within international relations.

Much of her work draws from storytelling, the arts, and non-Western culture to present alternative versions of historical analysis of global affairs.

[6] The theory itself blends together insights from Taoism, feminism, postcolonialism, and social constructivism to critique the militaristic focus of contemporary international relations and realist analysis of it.

In comparison, Ling draws upon the arts and soft power to represent yin.
