Description
Book SynopsisDebates on the end-of-life controversy are complex because they seem to highjack national and cultural traditions. Where previous books have focused on ideological grounds,
The Politics of Intimacy explores dying as the site where policies are negotiated and implemented.
Trade ReviewAnna Durnová's book joins the scholarship on flows of ideas and practices across borders, on emotions and IR, on the body and IR, and on 'the everyday' and IR. Her interviews, reviews of media coverage, and other research findings allow her to tell very interesting and analytically rich stories that tease out the relations between government, medical professionals, patients and their loved ones, and contending advocacy organizations."" - Renee Marlin-Bennett, Johns Hopkins University
""This is a fascinating and empirically rich book that is a signature, poignant study on the ‘politics of intimacy'. . . the arguments are interesting, provocative, and insightfully persuasive."" - Brent J. Steele, The University of Utah
