We live in a visual age. Images play an essential role in shaping international events and our understanding of them. Photographs, cinema, television and new media sources all influence how we view and approach phenomena as diverse as war, humanitarian crises, protest movements and election campaigns. This exciting new textbook draws together the leading scholars in the field and presents the first comprehensive guide to the visual in global politics Featuring a broad range of topics such as war, terrorism, security, foreign policy, social movements and democratization, contributions deal with a range of theoretical, empirical and ethical issues. Chapters are pitched at a broad audience and reflect a range of disciplinary, topical and geographical domains of expertise. As new technologies allow the speedy and convenient distribution of still and moving images across national boundaries understanding the role visuality plays in politics and international relations is becoming increasingly vital. This work will be essential reading for all students of international relations and global politics.
