Snapshots from Home: Mind, Action and Strategy in an Uncertain World

By Karin M. Fierke

Book Overview

Taking a broadly interdisciplinary approach, this book provides a unique angle on the COVID-19 pandemic and its implications for global theory and practice.

The book bridges two important debates regarding the relevance of quantum theory to the social sciences, and the pressing need for a more global international relations (IR). It brings the parallels between quantum physics and ancient Asian traditions - Daoism, Buddhism and Hinduism - to an investigation of mind, action and strategy in conditions of radical uncertainty.

Engaging with both theory and real-world problems, including climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic and economic and racial inequality, this book explores what it might mean to successfully navigate the potentials of a post-pandemic world.
