Mémoires d’Hadrien de M. Yourcenar : Lecture critique

Hello everyone! A new paper has been uploaded on the IR & Culture section!

The interplay between International Relations, History and Culture is a fascinating topic that can offer illuminating insights. Works that at first seem completely unrelated to IR often present a deep link with it after a more attentive examination.

This is the case of Yourcenar's novel Memoirs of Hadrian. The reflections the Roman emperor makes on the international situation of his time reveal striking similarities with the post-WWII world.
