Kaup valmöguleikar
Hvernig má beita kenningum í alþjóðasamskiptum á innrás uppvakninga? Hvað yrði um alþjóðastjórnmál ef hinir látnu risu úr gröfum sínum og tækju að éta þá sem enn lifa? Í þessari tímamótabók svarar Daniel Drezner spurningunni sem aðrir fræðimenn á sviði alþjóðasamskipta hafa ekki þorað að spyrja. Drezner fjallar á beittan og greinandi hátt um brýn álitaefni og skoðar hvernig þekktum kenningum í alþjóðasamskiptum mætti beita í stríði við uppvakninga.
Með hliðsjón af söguþræði vinsælla kvikmynda, laga og bóka um uppvakninga setur Theories of International Politics and Zombies fram raunhæfar sviðsmyndir af stjórnmálum andspænis uppvakningaógn og veltir fyrir sér hversu haldbærar — eða rotnar — þær kunni að vera. Nú þegar heimsógn virðist sífellt nálægari hefur þessi nýja heimsendaútgáfa verið uppfærð í heild sinni og inniheldur nýjan kafla um sjónarhorn eftirlendufræða.
How international relations theory can be applied to a zombie invasion What would happen to international politics if the dead rose from the grave and started to eat the living? Daniel Drezner’s 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 valid—or how rotten—such scenarios might be. With worldwide calamity feeling ever closer, this new apocalyptic edition includes updates throughout as well as a new chapter on postcolonial perspectives.
