The Geopolitics of Emotion: How Cultures of Fear, Humiliation, and Hope are Reshaping the World

In the first book to investigate the far-reaching emotional impact of globalization, Dominique MoÃ¯si shows how the geopolitics of today is characterized by a â€œclash of emotions.â€ The West, he argues, is dominated and divided by fear. For Muslims and Arabs, a culture of humiliation is quickly devolving into a culture of hatred. Asia, on the other hand, has been able to concentrate on building a better future, so it is creating a new culture of hope. MoÃ¯si, a leading authority on international affairs, explains that in order to understand our changing world, we need to confront emotion. And as he makes his case, he deciphers the driving emotions behind our cultural differences, delineating a provocative and important new perspective on globalization.
