The book presents the story of world politics by integrating folk tales and popular culture with policy analysis. It does not exclude current models of liberal internationalism but rather brackets them for another day, another purpose. The deconstruction of IR as a singular unifying school of thought through the lens of a non-Westphalian analytic shows a unique perspective on the forces that drive and shape world politics. This book suggests new ways to articulate and act so that global politics is more inclusive and less coercive. Only then, the book claims, could IR realize what the \u003ci\u003edao\u003c\/i\u003e has always stood for: a world of compassion and care.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dao of World Politics bridges the humanities and social sciences, and will be of interest to scholars and students of the global\/international, as well as policymakers and activists of the local\/domestic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54245118804312,"sku":"9780415603782","price":65.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415603782.jpg?v=1779426072","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/dao-of-world-politics","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
