Abstract
The Uses of Chaos and Fear: Critical Geopolitics and Everyday Life are complementary studies of the complex concepts of chaos and fear. Whereas chaos gives rise to creativity and innovation and drives us to make newer kinds of sense of our lives, fear reduces us to self-preservation and saps our life energies. Both these concepts are universal in reach; all individuals or collectives can experience these emotions and phenomena in one manner or the other. Fear has been used to coerce compliance by powerful nations of the weaker ones and create the ‘other’ among ourselves with unpleasant consequences. Once chaos is understood in the right perspective, great innovation and order may result. Similarly, fear emboldens individuals and nations to rise in resistance and bring hope to their lives. Both books add value to the existing research on these complex concepts and provide firm ground for further investigation.
