While kinship is among the basic organizing principles of all human
life, its role in and implications for international politics and
relations have been subject to surprisingly little exploration in
International Relations (IR) scholarship. This volume is the first
volume aimed at thinking systematically about kinship in IR - as an
organizing principle, as a source of political and social processes
and outcomes, and as a practical and analytical category that not
only reflects but also shapes politics and interaction on the
international political arena. Contributors trace everyday uses of
kinship terminology to explore the relevance of kinship in
different political and cultural contexts and to look at
interactions taking place above, at and within the state level. The
book suggests that kinship can expand or limit actors' political
room for maneuvereon the international political arena, making some
actions and practices appear possible and likely, and others less
so. As an analytical category, kinship can help us categorize and
understand relations between actors in the international arena. It
presents itself as a ready-made classificatory system for
understanding how entities within a hierarchy are organized in
relation to one another, and how this logic is all at once natural
and social.
