Magdalena Kozub-Karkut - Böcker

Applying role theory and Putnam’s two-level game framework to the European migration crisis of 2015, Magdalena Kozub-Karkut expertly shows how the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland used the crisis to contest their roles in the European Union (EU) and how each country and the V4, as a group, subsequently used their new contested roles in the bargaining process within the EU structures. In doing so, Kozub-Karkut demonstrates how international negotiations might be used by the chief negotiators as a way of triggering contestation and enhancing their position at the domestic level as well as how role contestation processes from the domestic level might be used at the international one.Two-Level Role Theory and EU Migration is an excellent resource for scholars and students of Foreign Policy Analysis, International Relations Theory, European Studies, and Migrations Studies.Chapter 3 and 7 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

This book investigates emotions within International Relations (IR), focusing on their role in shaping political actions and global interactions. For decades, IR theorists and politicians emphasized rational decision-making. However, recent scholarship has sparked a wave of interest in emotions, uncovering their significant influence. Collecting cutting-edge research that situates the emotional turn within the broader idea of Global IR, international contributors consider Western and non-Western emotional norms to reveal how cultural diversity permeates emotional expression and its role in politics. With case studies exploring emotions in contexts such as the China-Taiwan conflict, Western states' policy toward Israel, Polish foreign policy, the Korean War, the African Union responses, role of pain in the Middle Eastern context, and anti-liberal contestations in Latin America, this book is primarily aimed at scholars and advanced students in International Relations, Political Science, and Global and Area Studies.
