Empathy in Politics and Leadership
A timely account of empathy, politics, and leadership, showing how greater understanding and connection can foster trust, community, and innovation Empathy has become a cliché of contemporary politics, often espoused but rarely understood. Yet the capacity to understand other worldviews is neither easy nor comfortable. Seeing through others’ eyes requires strength, courage, integrity, and an ability to reason across the harshest political divides…
Is empathy a strategic imperative? A review essay
Empathy is increasingly seen as integral to effective strategy, offering solutions to policy failures and new ways to achieve strategic and operational success. Despite its softer connotations, empathy is hard, requiring strategists to confront misperceptions and false assumptions, and overcome individual egos and national hubris. This article reviews the literature, examining some of the gaps and costs incurred. Whilst strategic empathy may have…

Personal and Political Emotions in the Mind of the Diplomat
Despite growing research on the role of emotions in international relations, little work has analyzed how diplomats and decision‐makers themselves make sense of feelings generated by relationships that have both individual and state‐level implications. Do diplomats consciously experience feelings on behalf of the state? If so, how? How might individual embodied emotions affect how diplomats carry out their roles during negotiations? In the first …

It is a timely, insightful and interesting addition to the literature. Drawing on political and diplomatic texts from the ancient Greeks and Romans through the Middle Ages to the modern day, Roschin takes a constructivist and contextualist approach to his subject. Through a genealogy of friendsh…
Researching emotions in International Relations
Capturing the momentum of the affective turn in International Relations (IR), the contributors to this rich and engaging volume—edited by Maéva Clément and Eric Sangar—give deserving attention to the integral role emotions play within the discipline. Challenging the primacy of rationalist approaches to IR, this book addresses a current gap in the literature by focusing on a range of methodologies and debates around the study of emotions. In so do…
Mixed emotions
Emotional politics is ‘woven into the fabric of everyday life in a globalized and interconnected world’ (p. 150). In this thought-provoking book, Andrew Ross examines the role of affect—the experience of emotion—in global politics. Drawing from the Rwandan genocide, the conflict in the Balkans and the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States, he outlines an original and convincing argument for why it is an area that deserves further attention.…
