About the Book:
The Dogs of Diplomacy: Exploring the Radical Geographies of Modern Times by Daniele-Hadi Irandoost investigates diplomacy through the lens of radical geography as a conceptual framework. Engaging with international relations theory, comparative foreign policy, and the global political economy, Daniele foregrounds postcolonial global justice and the positioning of subaltern social groups within dominant discourses of power.
Grounded in his immigrant experience, Daniele’s critical qualitative research draws on literary fiction such as Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi and Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe to challenge conventional geopolitical maps.

Excerpt:
Not to mention, that unnecessary wars, the Vietnam War (1955–1975) and the Second Gulf War (2003–2011), for instance, scandalous treaties, like the expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) even after the dissolution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and the Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance (TFCMA) or the Warsaw Pact (WP), every kind of maladministration (beside the assassination of their adversaries, including Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz of the Republic of Cuba) may be ascribed to this country (the United States).
