Abstract

ABSTRACT Emotions are important to the construction of international political thought, but can their influence be rigorously and usefully studied? This article argues that such a study is indeed possible and beneficial. The article develops a theoretical basis and methodological guidance to explore the influence of specific emotions on strategic thought, which is a subset of international political thought pertaining to the political utility of military power. The article further illustrates the feasibility of the suggested approach on the examples of fear, nostalgia, and admiration and discusses its explanatory, evaluative and practical value in the context of international political thought.
