Performing Statecraft: The Postdiplomatic Theatre of Sovereigns, Citizens, and States (Methuen Drama Agitations: Text, Politics and Performances)

What is the role of performance in diplomacy? How can we advance interventions into global politics by artists, scholars, and activists? Performing Statecraft investigates the performances of states, their leaders, and their citizens on an expanded field of the global art of statecraft. This book draws together scholarship on the use of theatre as a soft power tool, arts activism on the world stage, sports performance by heads of state, the performativity of national dress, speechmaking and colonialism, war and medicine, indigenous sovereignties, and performed nationalisms--
