This volume brings together a team of eminent scholars from a wide range of disciplines -- including social psychology, political science and international relations -- to document the current thinking on the many ways in which narrative and metaphor function as cognitive and rhetorical instruments in discourse around politics and to explore the potential for the two perspectives to be employed more often in combination.
