Description for The International Relations of Middle-earth: Learning from The Lord of the Rings
Paperback. "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy sheds light on issues of real-world international relations Num Pages: 256 pages, illustrations. BIC Classification: JPS. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 226 x 153 x 19. Weight in Grams: 400.
Based on their successful undergraduate course at the University of Southern California, Abigail E. Ruane and Patrick James provide an introduction to International Relations using J. R. R. Tolkien's fantastically popular trilogy The Lord of the Rings. Because Tolkien's major themes---such as good versus evil and human agency versus determinism---are perennially relevant to International Relations, The Lord of the Rings is well suited for application to the study of politics in our own world. This innovative combination of social science and humanities approaches to illustrate key concepts engages students and stimulates critical thinking in new and exciting ways.
