Visuality in international relations. A theoretical analysis

The book examines how visual representations shape global politics, arguing that images, data visualizations, and digital media are central to contemporary political processes. Combining International Relations theory with insights from visual culture, media studies, and semiotics, it provides a framework for understanding how visuality influences public perceptions, diplomacy, policy legitimization, and power relations. Through case studies on conflict, diplomacy, nation branding, and algorithmic visual infrastructures, the book offers theoretical and methodological tools for analyzing the connections between visuality, identity, power, and global governance.
