This book proposes the idea of fictional International Relations (IR) and engages with feminist IR by contextualising the case of a woman spy in Korea in the Cold War. Fictional imagination and feminist IR encourage one to go beyond conventional or standard ways of thinking; it reshapes taken-for-granted interpretations and assumptions. This takes...
In the field of International Relations (IR), narrative approaches and an alternative way of writing seem to have gained growing attention in recent scholarship. Autoethnography and autobiography can be taken as primary examples. The article aims to advance this growing scholarship by proposing the concept of fictional IR. The idea is concerned wit...

While the term narrative is sometimes narrowly used in terms of strategic action, we support a processual and relational notion of narrative as it has been developed in narratology (Koschorke 2018) and is established in practice-oriented perspectives in IR (Bueger and Gadinger 2018). Narrative analysis draws on insights from discourse analysis and practice-oriented approaches but is geared more towards paying close attention to aesthetics, fiction and emotions than the former, particularly with regard to traditions in political science (Park-Kang 2015). That is, while in strategic thinking narratives are often understood as instrumental tools that can be controlled by political actors in their use, for example in earlier understandings of public diplomacy; practiceand discourse-oriented scholars emphasise that narratives are never fixed, but instead permanently produced and negotiated under conditions of polyphony. ...
... Meanwhile, the latter, liberal, strand has found that local actors influence the effect of post-conflict elections, constitutional changes and other common liberal measures. This strand has also studied the optimal sequencing of such measures, for example through the institutionalizationbefore-liberalization approach, (Paris 2004). Both strands thus conclude that locals' agency is crucial to outcome and that internationals should listen to them. ...
