The chapter reviews the findings of the preceding theoretical and empirical chapters before moving to a broader assessment of what insights a focus on vicarious identity might provide in a context of significant change and uncertainty in international politics. The chapter argues that the proliferation of practices of vicarious identification and vicarious identity promotion are likely to be connected to the relative prevalence of competing fantasies of world order, fantasies variously characterizing the nature of international politics in terms of autonomous units, a bloc-based system, or a normative world order. |
