Game of Thrones and political science (updated)

Been doing some background research on the HBO Series Game of Thrones for a case study in one of two chapters I wrote for a book on Media Pedagogy with several colleagues here at Lillehammer University. I also wrote a short article on the subject in the main Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten on the subject in April 2015. An older and longer version is to be found here on this blog.

It may be comforting for those spending too much time on Game of Thrones - including yours truly - that it may have some relevance as political science and IR-theory are indeed incorporated into the storytelling. See the articles - and even some books - below for comments upon the political aspects of the series. It is updated on April 21. 2015, by no means pretending to be complete. Furthermore, some of the links may be dead by now.
