This dissertation explores and analyzes the interweaving roles of affect, language and identification in recent episodes of American foreign policy. Its central argument is that despite receiving little attention from International Relations (IR) scholars, affect and desire are central dimensions of social and political life. Affect and desire are crucial to understanding the central question posed in this study: why are some discourses more politically successful than others? Some discourses come to define widely-accepted "common sense" of American foreign policy because of how people affectively invest themselves in, and thus identify with, these discourses. I offer a theoretical framework, based upon insights from the theories of Jacques Lacan and Ernesto Laclau, through which to analyze the differential affective appeal of foreign policy discourses. This framework theorizes the relationship between affect and language, and how they combine to produce political identities and discursive power. In doing so, this framework captures the dimensions of desire and affect that other linguistic and social constructivist approaches in IR are unable to capture.

520 $a This dissertation explores and analyzes the interweaving roles of affect, language and identification in recent episodes of American foreign policy. Its central argument is that despite receiving little attention from International Relations (IR) scholars, affect and desire are central dimensions of social and political life. Affect and desire are crucial to understanding the central question posed in this study: why are some discourses more politically successful than others? Some discourses come to define widely-accepted "common sense" of American foreign policy because of how people affectively invest themselves in, and thus identify with, these discourses. I offer a theoretical framework, based upon insights from the theories of Jacques Lacan and Ernesto Laclau, through which to analyze the differential affective appeal of foreign policy discourses. This framework theorizes the relationship between affect and language, and how they combine to produce political identities and discursive power. In doing so, this framework captures the dimensions of desire and affect that other linguistic and social constructivist approaches in IR are unable to capture.
520 $a I apply this framework to offer new understandings of several recent episodes of American foreign policy. First, I analyze the discourse of the war on terror in terms of its affective appeal after September 11, 2001, an aspect that surprisingly few IR scholars have 11 explored. Next, I turn the framework to scrutinizing how Iraq was discursively incorporated into the war on terror, and explore and identify how dimensions of affect and desire underpinned and sustained the discursive contestations and competitions surrounding American foreign policy at the time. Subsequently, I deploy the framework to analyze discourses of neoconservatism. The influence of neoconservatism on debates over American foreign policy has ebbed and flowed over the last several decades. I argue that neoconservatism's rise and fall can largely be traced back to the desires it evokes and the affective and identity appeals it offers. The study concludes with a summary of these arguments, suggestions for future research into these questions, and a few implications for policy.
