Making Things International 1: Circuits and Motion

Description

Building on recent debates in critical social theory and international relations, Making Things International 1: Circuits and Motion presents twenty-five essays that engage the global, the local, and the international through the lens of objects. It represents the first substantial new materialist intervention in global politics and international relations, offering a diverse and provocative set of reflections on how different objects create, sustain, complicate, and trouble the international.
