Summary

Nowhere are clashes between competing ethical perspectives more prevalent than in the realm of international relations. Thus, understanding tragedy is directly relevant to understanding IR. This volume explores the various ways that tragedy can be used as a lens through which international relations might be brought into clearer focus.
