Game of Thrones to IR scholars represents an artistic form of knowledge and a means for fostering new ways of thinking about violence, sovereign power, and gender.
The joy of Game of Thrones is that George R.R. Martin’s world is complex enough that people can read into it what they want. There are plenty of opportunities to apply IR theory to it.
The Game of Thrones TV show and novels have become appealing to scholars as they touch on theoretical concepts and issues central to IR, and feature parallels to real-world events.
