Does a liberal institutionalist have a better chance than a structural realist of surviving a zombie apocalypse? Could any theory of international relations, for that matter, salvage humanity from the rise of the living dead?
As part of its Signature Lecture Series, The Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) welcomes the public to hear Daniel W. Drezner, at the CIGI Campus on Wednesday, October 26, as he discusses the political tactics and strategies of Zombies, the G20 and International Governance.
Drezner, professor of international politics at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University and leading blogger for Foreign Policy magazine, had his creative analysis of international relations published as Theories of International Politics and Zombies by Princeton University Press in 2011.
