Theories of International Politics and Zombies
Theories of International Politics and Zombies: Revived Edition | Daniel W. Drezner
5 posts | 6 read | 1 reading | 1 to read
What would happen to international politics if the dead rose from the grave and started to eat the living? Daniel Drezners groundbreaking book answers the question that other international relations scholars have been too scared to ask. Addressing timely issues with analytical bite, Drezner looks at how well-known theories from international relations might be applied to a war with zombies. Exploring the plots of popular zombie films, songs, and books, Theories of International Politics and Zombies predicts realistic scenarios for the political stage in the face of a zombie threat and considers how validor how rottensuch scenarios might be. This newly revived edition includes substantial updates throughout as well as a new epilogue assessing the role of the zombie analogy in the public sphere.

2016, Book 40. "These examples highlight the positive ways that the living dead can be expropriated as a metaphor to spark interests in other ideas. One of the strengths of the horror genre is that it allows people to talk about present day problems without addressing them straight on...The moment zombies are added into the mix, an abstruse public policy problem suddenly becomes a rollicking argument accessible to original citizens."

Cookie felt this was appropriate reading since last night they really didn't let me get my books with the power outage.

Hosted my best friend's baby shower yesterday. Of course asked people to bring books for the baby. I love our friends. Included were copies of People's History of the United States & Theories of International Politics and Zombies. Plus many excellent picture & board books.

Josie My friends did the same thing for my baby shower last summer! I didn't know anything about the theme and I walked into a book themed wonderland and I cried lol it's such a great idea for a baby shower if mommy and daddy are readers!!! 9y
Bookrarian @Josie It's important to start kids off on the right track. This child in particular has no hope of being anything but a book nerd :) 9y
Josie My child is the same!! She will have no choice but to stay in and read during our scorching Phoenix summer. Congrats to your friends! Babies are magical 9y
