Dr. Steven C. Roach discusses his research on theorizing emotional actions and the value of resilience in International Relations Theory.
This volume explores the nexus between emotions, world politics, and war and argues that IR debates should tackle the political dimensions of emotions.
The widening range of possibilities for neurochemical enhancement demands accompanying caution in their deployment, commercialisation and regulation.
This brief exploration highlights the extent to which emotions have a social, cultural and political dimension that is pervasive at the international level.
By practicing compassion and kindness to ourselves, we can meet the suffering of others. This can enable us to connect to the meaning of studying and researching IR.
While forms of power are important they do not necessarily shape collective emotions which can be situated in a much more dispersed sets of cultural practices.
Comprehending that the ways we acquire knowledge are culturally mediated would be a profound step in softening rigid categories of “otherness” in our globalized world.
Scholars are paying more and more attention to emotion and affect. New developments in the field of neuroscience can accelerate the progress of emotion research in IR.
Insights from psychology can develop our understanding of IR. One example is the examination of emotion in decision making which can enhance our understanding of the roles and functions of leadership.
Steele’s well-researched book convincingly appends the field’s more materialist notions of security, but the merits lie as much with its novel conclusions as they do with the ideas it inspires.
