"The most thought-provoking and refreshing work on Bosnia and the former Yugoslavia in a long time.It is certainly an immense contribution to the broadening schools within international relations." Times Higher Education (THE).Written in both autoethnographical and narrative form, The Politics of Exile offers unique insight into the complex encounter of researcher with research subject in the context of the Bosnian War and its aftermath. Exploring themes of personal and civilizational guilt, of displaced and fractured identity, of secrets and subterfuge, of love and alienation, of moral choice and the impossibility of ethics, this work challenges us to recognise pure narrative as an accepted form of writing in international relations.The author brings theory to life and gives corporeal reality to a wide range of concepts in international relations, including an exploration of the ways in which young academics are initiated into a culture where the volume of research production is more valuable than its content, and where success is marked not by intellectual innovation, but by conformity to theoretical expectations in research and teaching. This engaging work will be essential reading for all students and scholars of international relations and global politics.

"The most thought-provoking and refreshing work on Bosnia and the former Yugoslavia in a long time.It is certainly an immense contribution to the broadening schools within international relations."Jelena Obradovic-Wochnik lecturer in politics and international relations, Aston University, UK in Times Higher Education (THE).Elizabeth Dauphinee's moving book is so engaging because it is so self-aware, so achingly candid. Here is the book to read if you want to get even a glimpse of the impossible choices that one has to make when one becomes one of the world's "displaced." This book will stick to your ribs.Cynthia Enloe, Author of Nimo's War, Emma's War: Making Feminist Sense of the Iraq WarThis very thought provoking book challenges the notion that the injustice of war violence and misery of others can be grasped by a detached, rational scholar. Maja Korac, School of Law and Social Sciences, University of East LondonAn extraordinary work that I found hard to put down each night, and whose emotions, echoes and affects disturbed my sleep and days…a very fine and powerful work of art that glows dangerously in the hands. Anthony Burke, Associate Professor, International and Political Studies, UNSW Canberra, Australia.Superb writing as well as an aesthetic sensitivity to the experiences on which the writing is based…It could well serve as the foundation text for courses on war. Michael J Shapiro, Professor of Political Science, University of Hawaii, USA.
