Theater of State is an innovative study of performance in
international relations. It asks why states and their
representatives come to the United Nations to perform for a global
Audience, and how those Audiences in turn may intervene in the
spectacle of global politics. Â A study of the lived
experience of spectacular politics on the world stage, Theater of
State looks at key spaces in which global politics play out in
debating forums of the UN, the International Criminal Court in The
Hague, and peacekeeping operations in Africa and the Middle East,
as well as at a variety of related media Productions (plays,
concerts, television programs, and so on). It argues for
recognizing that culture and politics form a unified field
organized by the theatricality of its actors and the engaged
spectatorship of its Audiences. It provides a theory of global
political spectatorship: of how the world watches itself in
institutions and beyond, and of what citizens and diplomats do by
watching. Â The author draws on theories of theater,
performance, and politics to offer new ways of approaching issues
of war, cosmopolitanism, international justice, governance, and
activism. Situated at the nexus of two disciplines, performance
studies and political science, this volume encourages conversations
between the two that each might offer lessons to the other.Â
