Description

Kinship in International Relations explores a fundamental aspect of human life that has surprisingly been overlooked in international relations scholarship. This book aims to think systematically about kinship's role in shaping politics and interactions on the international stage. Contributors examine everyday uses of kinship terminology to understand its relevance in different cultural contexts and its impact on state-level interactions. By tracing the practical and analytical applications of kinship, this volume reveals how it can both expand and limit actors' political room for maneuver. As an analytical category, kinship offers a useful framework for categorizing and understanding relations between international actors. It presents itself as a natural yet social logic that governs hierarchies and relationships within the international arena.
