Scholars in many of the disciplines surrounding politics explicitly utilize either a narrative perspective or a metaphor perspective (though rarely the two in combination) to analyze issues -- theoretical and practical, domestic and international -- in the broad field of politics. Among the topics they have studied are:
competing metaphors for the state or nation which have been coined over the centuries in diverse cultures;
the frequency with which communal and international conflicts are generated, at least in part, by the clashing religious and...

This volume is the first to bring together a team of eminent scholars from this wide range of disciplines to document more or less comprehensively current thinking on the many ways in which narrative and metaphor function as cognitive and rhetorical instruments in discourse around politics and to explore the potential for the two perspectives to be employed more often in combination. It focuses particularly on the prevalence of dysfunctional political narratives and metaphors and the potential for them to be critiqued and effectively amended. The book will appeal to any scholar interested in...

Human beings have a unique ability to create elaborate predispositions and evaluations based on their social experiences. The concept of attitudes is central to understanding how experience gives rise to these predispositions, and psychologists have spent the best part of the past 100 years trying to understand the intricacies of this process. Yet, despite decades of research, we still do not fully understand how attitudes are created, maintained and changed.
The main objective of this book is to review and integrate some of the most recent, cutting-edge developments in research on...
