Abstract
In his recent (2009) book, The Geopolitics of Emotion, D. Moisi,
a French political scientist, took a still somewhat unusual approach;
emotions can be causal in political relationships. The book argues
indeed that they may be causes of both peace and war between
and within nations. He focuses on three emotions: hope, fear, and
humiliation. Surprisingly, the book has received a torrent of praise
from reviewers. The overwhelmingly positive response to the
book is surprising because modern societies play down emotions
as unimportant, even between individuals, much less nations.
