Identity and Global Politics: Empirical and Theoretical Elaborations (Culture and Religion in International Relations)

This collected volume draws together essays written by International Relations scholars from a variety of regional, methodological and theoretical perspectives to confront the challenges of identity-centered analysis. In particular, the contributors seek to elucidate the general meaning and methodological implications of the commonly state yet largely unexamined, assertion that identities are relational, fluid, constructed, and multiple. PATRICIA GOFF is Assistant Professor of Political Science, University of Utah. She has published articles in Party Politics and International Studies Quarterly. KEVIN C. DUNN teaches at Hobart and William Smith College and is the author of Africa’s Challenge to IR Theory (Palgrave, 2001) and Imagining the Congo (Palgrave Macmillan, 2003)
