Representation Recognition And Respect In World Politics by Constance Duncombe, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Representation, recognition and respect in world politics addresses a critical issue in global politics: how recognition and misrecognition have the power to fuel conflict and initiate reconciliation. In a thorough conceptual engagement with the issues at stake, Constance Duncombe presents a detailed empirical investigation of one of the most significant flashpoints in global politics: the fraught bilateral relations between the US and Iran Duncombe uses this key example of the US and Iran to explore the importance of representation in shaping the identity of a state, as well as how it is recognised by others on the world's political stage. In 2015, Iran and the US reached an agreement on the framework for a long-term deal that allows Iran limited nuclear technological capacity in exchange for the lifting of debilitating economic sanctions. In light of decades of animosity between Iran and the US, which previously thwarted attempts on both sides to reach an amicable agreement, this book asks how we can best explain the success of this deal amid increasing concerns about the future of the agreement under the Trump administration. | Representation Recognition And Respect In World Politics by Constance Duncombe, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
