Antidiplomacy: Spies, Terror, Speed, and War

by James Der Derian

This book plots a trajectory from the beginning of the Second Cold war to the end of the Gulf War, to show how new global forms and representatives of spying, speed, and terror have both fortified the national security state and generated an antidiplomacy. Because the new technologies of power behind antidiplomacy are transparent and pervasive, through the exchange of signs not goods, they have proven to be resistant if not invisible to the traditional methods of International Relations.
