This handbook explores the groundbreaking ways emotions shape global politics and decision-making. Traditionally, International Relations (IR) overlooked emotions, focusing on rational strategies between nations. However, recent research reveals that emotions such as fear, pride, and anxiety profoundly influence diplomatic, security, and humanitarian decisions. By examining emotions in various contexts, from war and conflict to international law and migration, the book provides fresh insight into why states and leaders act the way they do. It's an essential guide for understanding the growing role of emotions in IR, bridging scholarly insights with real-world applications for today's complex global landscape.
