Beskrivning

This book takes radical aim at the conventional conduct of international relations analysis. Drawing a bead on conceptual blind spots prevalent both inside and outside the academy, the book urges scholars to reflect on how inner worlds shape the actions of their subjects—and their own research analyses, as well.
