Concerned Citizen Asks about Zombie Invasions
BBC News reports that a concerned citizen questioned Leicester City Council members about the potential threat of a zombie invasion. Council members responded and admitted they are not prepared. Read the full story here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-13713798
Perhaps Daniel Drezner’s new book, Theories of International Politics and Zombies can be of some assistance to council members. Correcting the zombie gap in international relations thinking and addressing the genuine but publicly unacknowledged fear of the dead rising from the grave, Theories of International Politics and Zombies presents political tactics and strategies accessible enough for any zombie to digest.

Wow, that is really something. It makes you wonder what would happen if something like the movie 28 days later really happened. From this perspective, those horror films really seem scary if there are no plans in place to deal with a crisis like that.

Well the CDC is ready: A recent blog post by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that mentioned a “zombie apocalypse” as a lighthearted way to get Americans to read about preparing for hurricanes drove so much traffic that it crashed the website.

All joke aside Theories of Intl Politics and Zombies is a fun and clever read. Mr. Drezner is a Zombie buff and International Relations expert who combines those two passions in an original and thought provoking way. It’s always good when you can learn something while you’re having a good time.
