Daniel W. Drezner, Theories of International Politics and Zombies (Princeton and Oxford: Princeton University Press, 2011) ISBN-13 9780691147833.
FWIW, Drezner is a professor of international politics at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Zombie Research Society. Notwithstanding Drezner's expertise on zombies, I very strongly disagree with his definition of zombies as ghouls rather than as animated corpses. Defining zombies as ghouls raises a number of ontological issues that should have pushed the work in an entirely different direction. YMMV.
In any case, this is an interesting, intellectually complex, and funny work that, at times, offers devastating critiques of the practice of international relations and the study thereof. Verily, Drezner is almost smart enough to be a historian.
