The Geopolitics of Emotion: How Cultures of Fear, Humiliation, and Hope Are Reshaping the World
Categories: History
The Geopolitics of Emotion: How Cultures of Fear, Humiliation, and Hope Are Reshaping the World (2009) by Dominique Moïsi is a work of international affairs. Moïsi, a French political scientist, argues that emotions shape world politics as much as interests do. He maps the globe by its dominant moods: hope in much of Asia, humiliation in parts of the Arab and Muslim world, and fear in the West, and he considers how these feelings may affect the future.
