This book draws on recent advances in political psychology and state-of-the-art research in international relations to go beyond current knowledge and simplistic accounts of international leadership.
Trade Review“Beauregard’s
The Passion of International Leadership offers an important and timely account of leaders’ emotions and the processes of persuasion, resonance, and contagion that constitute followership. With cross-disciplinary theorizing and four engaging case studies, the book sheds new light on when intensities of emotion begin, where they travel, and how they impact diplomacy and cooperation.”
