The Geopolitics of Emotion
How Cultures of Fear, Humiliation, and Hope are Reshaping the World

In his celebrated 1993 book The Clash of Civilizations, political scientist Samuel Huntington argued that the fundamental source of conflict in the post - Cold War world would not be primarily ideological or economic, but cultural. In The Geopolitics of Emotion Dominique Moisi, a leading authority on international affairs, demonstrates that our post-9/11 world has become divided by more than cultural fault lines between nations and civilizations. Moisi brilliantly chronicles how the geopolitics of today is characterized by a "clash of emotions," and how cultures of fear, humiliation, and hope are reshaping the world.
