//-->This book offers an original combination of culture andnarrative theory with an empirical study of identity andpolitical action. It is at once a powerful critique ofrational choice theories of action and a solution to thehistoriographical puzzle of why Sweden went to war in1630. Erik Ringmar argues that people act not only forreasons of interest, but also for reasons of identity, andthat the latter are, in fact, more fundamental. Deployinghis alternative, non-rational theory of action in hisaccount of the Swedish intervention in the Thirty YearsWar, he shows it to have been an attempt on behalf of theSwedish leaders to gain recognition for themselves andtheir country. Further to this, he demonstrates the impor-tance of questions of identity to the study of war and ofnarrative theories of action to the social sciences ingeneral.Identity, interest and actionCambridge Cult ural Social StudiesGeneral editors:JEFFREY C.
