International Relations, International Relations theory, Game of Thrones

A review of the book Game of Thrones and the theories of International Relations by Young and Carranza Ko.

Aristidis Victor Agoglossakis Foley, University of St Andrews

Aristidis (who prefers the far easier “Aris”) is a PhD candidate at the University of St Andrews. His research attempts to understand the workings of dystopian thought through a genealogical study of the genre. The end goal, if attainable, is to establish a dystopian tool of analysis, through which one can examine and critique contemporary political and societal phenomena. With a background in literature and political theory, Aris is particularly interested in finding links between the two. Additionally, he is fascinated by the study of governmentality and biopower/biopolitics in the works of Michel Foucault and Giorgio Agamben.
