Opis

Through a theoretical and empirical examination of the 1956 Suez Crisis, the 1966 NATO crisis, and the 2003 Iraq crisis, Eznack explores the connections between affect and emotion, the occurrence of crises, and the repair of those crises in close allies' relationships, and provides a new perspective on alliances and friendly relations among states.

Recenzje

"Eznack's path-breaking book points to new ways of studying crises and state behavior in the transatlantic order by showing convincingly how affect has stabilized the North Atlantic Alliance in the past through processes of 'relational repair.' Written with remarkable theoretical clarity and graceful style, Crises in the Atlantic Alliance is a must-read for anyone interested in the power of emotions and a timely and valuable contribution to a nascent 'emotional turn' in International Relations." - Simon Koschut, assistant professor of International Studies, University of Erlangen, Nuremberg
