Political science & theory; International relations

Series: Bristol Studies in International Theory

Taking a broadly interdisciplinary approach, this book provides a unique angle on the COVID-19 pandemic and its implications for global theory and practice.

The book bridges two important debates regarding the relevance of quantum theory to the social sciences, and the pressing need for a more global international relations (IR). It brings the parallels between quantum physics and ancient Asian traditions

Daoism, Buddhism and Hinduism

to an investigation of mind, action and strategy in conditions of radical uncertainty.

Engaging with both theory and real-world problems, including climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic and economic and racial inequality, this book explores what it might mean to successfully navigate the potentials of a post-pandemic world.

Reviews for Snapshots from Home: Mind, Action and Strategy in an Uncertain World

"""Two red alerts for all Newtonians! Fierke's snapshots of Buddhism, Daoism and Hinduism and of quantum physics are exhilaratingly imaginative in rethinking the relation between science and culture, truth and faith."" Peter J. Katzenstein, Cornell University ""Navigating those relations that constitute both who we are and are not, each differently, Fierke de-ontologizes a global international relations that can only survive on the impossibilities of becoming global."" Shih Chih-yu, National Taiwan University"
