In 'From the Ashes of History', Adam B. Lerner looks at collective trauma as a foundational force in international politics - a 'shock' to political cultures that can constitute new actors and shape decision-making over the long-term. While international relations scholarship has largely dismissed non-systematic, latent phenomena like trauma, Lerner argues that collective trauma can help draw the lines between international political groups and frame the logics of international political action.
