New Book Reveals How Political Exemplars Reshape Global Movements
A new book examining how political exemplars spread and influence global affairs has been released today. Exemplarity in Global Politics, edited by Dorothy Noyes and Tobias Wille, explores the role of cultural transmission in shaping political actions and movements. The work is now accessible for free online reading and download.
The book applies folkloristic theories to analyze how political acts become widely adopted exemplars. It looks at the networks through which these acts circulate, often crossing borders of identity, ideology, and established norms. The editors argue that political change is driven by how exemplars are claimed, recognized, and transferred.
The publication offers a fresh perspective on how political ideas gain traction through exemplarity. With its open-access availability, the book provides immediate access to scholars and readers interested in cultural and political theory. The discount on printed versions also makes it more widely obtainable for a limited time.
