How do international leaders emerge and why are they successful in
bringing followers to converge on their positions? The Passion of
International Leadership draws on recent advances in political
psychology and state-of-the-art research in international relations
to go beyond current knowledge and simplistic accounts of
international leadership. It tells surprising and intense stories
of policymakers at the head of great powers attempting to cooperate
during crisis moments, and uses these stories to challenge commonly
held beliefs and intuitions about international leadership.
Beauregard explores international leadership in four cases of
transatlantic cooperation when Western policymakers were confronted
to foreign conflicts, like civil or secessionist wars. He provides
a fascinating study of the recognition of Slovenia, Croatia, and
Bosnia during the wars in Yugoslavia; the peace mediation during
the Russia-Georgia war in 2008; the adoption of economic sanctions
against Russia over the conflict in Ukraine; and finally,
cooperation on striking against the Islamic State in Iraq and
Syria. The book argues that leaders are driven by their
convictions, and that they must strike a balance between the
intense emotions associated with their beliefs and their need to
represent a broader community. At the same time as they seek to
bring followers on board by persuading them, they need to pay
attention to emotionally contagious and resonant events that can
alter the course of international cooperation.
