The Geopolitics of Emotion

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

By: Dominique Moisi

Narrated by: Scott Peterson

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 Moïsi, 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. Moïsi 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.©2009 Gildan Media Corp

No poltical knowledge

I have no political science background. I chose this book because it seemed a place to start learning and I wasn't disappointed. it is well written, easily understood, and enagaging.

Interesting

This is an interesting audio, but, in the end, I am not so sure that anything new is said. Perhaps better as a book so one can more easily appreciate the content. More of a survey than a specific examination.
