Theories of International Politics and Zombies: Apocalypse Edition by Daniel W. Drezner

challenging funny hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

4.5

This book scratched an itch I didn’t even know I had and it was such an enjoyable experience. 
I’m still so pleasantly surprised that the realm of literature allows me to merge interests that I would never DREAM to join together. 

For any hardcore zombie fan like me, this book is an excellent deep dive into some of the more serious questions you might have asked yourself around the unraveling of a zombie apocalypse. It’s fun and entertaining, but it’s still a very serious and solid piece of investigation grappling with the question of how states would respond to a very real zombie apocalypse. As a Z fiend, it’s good to see these questions talked about seriously 🤓 

Now, as an international relations enthusiast, I also found this book to be an excellent introduction and/or refresher on the main strands of international politics theory. In a way, I think it would be an excellent book to pick up for anyone looking to learn more about international relations that doesn’t have pre existing knowledge in the field, as it is accessible and fun but also informative! 

I’m so glad that this book exists, and I had a blast reading it.
