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.
