    Ethics and International Relations (IR), once considered along the margins of the IR field, has emerged as one of the most eclectic and interdisciplinary research areas today.

    Why We Question the Experts on Everything from Climate Change to Vaccinations

    by Erika Allen Wolters, Brent S. Steel ...
    This book reveals how embedded beliefs more so than a lack of scientific knowledge and understanding are creating a cognitive bias toward information that coincides with personal beliefs rather than scientific consensus-and that this anti-science bias exists among liberals as well as conservatives.In 2010, an outbreak of whooping cough in California infected more than 8,000 people, resulting in ...

    Self, Security, and Status on the Global Stage

    by Christopher S. Browning, Pertti Joenniemi, Brent J. Steele ...
    Vicarious identification, or "living through another" is a familiar social-psychological concept.

As this book argues, it is also an under-appreciated and increasingly relevant ... Read more
