Not being of the West; being behind the West; not being modern
enough; not being developed or industrialized, secular, civilized,
Christian, transparent, or democratic - these descriptions have all
served to stigmatize certain states through history. Drawing on
constructivism as well as the insights of social theorists and
philosophers, After Defeat demonstrates that stigmatization in
international relations can lead to a sense of national shame, as
well as auto-Orientalism and inferior status. Ayse Zarakol argues
that stigmatized states become extra-sensitive to concerns about
status, and shape their foreign policy accordingly. The theoretical
argument is supported by a detailed historical overview of central
examples of the established/outsider dichotomy throughout the
evolution of the modern states system, and in-depth studies of
Turkey after the First World War, Japan after the Second World War,
and Russia after the Cold War.
