Biography
Andreas Behnke is Associate Professor in International Political Theory at the University of Reading, UK
'In many of our scholarly books and articles, international politics appears to take place between and among abstract, fleshless entities without personality or perspective. Focusing on fashion as both a site and a medium of political and social life goes a long way towards addressing this gap and curing this blindness. This collection of insightful essays on the 'enfashioning' that goes on all throughout international affairs is an impressive show indeed!' - Patrick Thaddeus Jackson, Professor of International Studies, School of International Service, American University
'Covering an impressive range of issues and ideas related to all things sartorial, Behnke’s The International Politics of Fashion offers a refreshing refashioning of the interconnections between culture and politics.' - Elspeth Van Veeren, Lecturer in Political Science, University of Bristol
