Description
Evolution in International Relations examines how evolutionary science can provide valuable insights into understanding state behavior, international conflicts, and cooperation patterns. Jeremy Garlick argues that evolutionary perspectives offer a complementary framework to traditional international relations theories, helping explain why nations compete, form alliances, and respond to threats in particular ways.
The book explores applications of evolutionary biology and psychology to diplomatic interactions, security dilemmas, and the formation of international institutions. Garlick demonstrates how concepts such as reciprocal altruism, kin selection, and status competition can illuminate international politics. This Element synthesizes cutting-edge research at the intersection of evolutionary science and geopolitics, making it essential reading for scholars seeking to understand human behavior at the macro level of interstate relations.
