This volume offers insights from political anthropology on how to analyze and how to think about contemporary areas of internationalized political phenomena in a fresh manner. By drawing on a variety of cases like policing, budgeting, the role of monetary politics in everyday life, development agencies, and international organisations it shows the promise of an "extended experience" for the study of international politics, yet without glossing over the limits of such approaches. This book is an essential contribution to the discussion about ethnography in international relations and a bridge between disciplines.
Sarah Beicker is a Research Assistant at the Institute for Intercultural and International Studies (InIIS) at the University of Bremen. Klaus Schlichte is a Professor of International Relations and World Society at the University of Bremen.
