The Geopolitics of Emotion (Dominique Moïsi)

*The Geopolitics of Emotion* by Dominique Moïsi explores how collective emotions, like hope, fear, humiliation, and pride, shape international politics and regional conflicts. Moïsi argues that understanding these deep-seated psychological feelings helps explain global tensions, cultural differences, and political decisions. Emotions influence how nations see themselves and others, impacting alliances and conflicts more than rational interests alone. By recognizing these emotional undercurrents, policymakers can better navigate international challenges, fostering empathy and long-term solutions rather than short-sighted reactions.
