Strategic Narratives

This book is the first to develop a systematic framework to understand how political actors seek to shape order through narrative projection in this new environment. The concept of strategic narrative draws together the most salient of international relations concepts, including the links between power and ideas; international and domestic; and state and non-state actors. Strategic Narratives shows both the possibilities and the limits of communication and power, and makes an important contribution to theorizing and studying empirically contemporary international relations.
