I have just spent a grim two days getting to Katowice and back, and am poised to collapse from exhaustion.

So no hard-core blogging tonight.

BUT, since I am now officially in Living Dead mode, I offer you another must-read.

Go and get a drink and set aside twenty minutes to work your way through this fine analysis of how international relations and law and practice might tackle the issue of a Zombie plague spreading in various directions.

Plus the torrent of learned and witty comments which the original brilliant piece by Daniel Drezner has, er, spawned.

The point of such cleverness is (I hope) to posit a dramatic and (I hope) impossible but in some ways plausible scenario in a way which tests our underlying assumptions about what our theories and policies in fact address. 

Plus Zombietude has some human characteristics and therefore we have to keep an eye on ethical dimensions too.

Oh, and our very language. And political correctness.

In fact all human life (and plenty of inhuman life) is there, in large bite-size chunks for everyone.

Anyway.

Enjoy. 

PS:  a loyal reader has alerted me to the fact that when I linked to another site, the reader had to leave behind my page to get there, then click to get back to me. My bad.

So this is the first post which opens a link in a new Window for ease of moving/reading just a tad faster.

Every second counts in a Zombie infestation …
