Identity, Interest and Action

Více o knize

Focusing on identity and political action, this book critiques rational choice theory while addressing why Sweden intervened in The Thirty Years' War. Erik Ringmar posits that motivations rooted in identity, rather than mere self-interest, drove Swedish leaders to seek recognition for themselves and their nation. The work combines cultural and narratological analysis with empirical study, offering a fresh perspective on historical events and the complexities of political decisions.
