This edited book demonstrates a new multidimensional comprehension
of the relationship between war, the military and civil society by
exploring the global rise of paramilitary culture. Moving beyond
binary understandings that inform the militarization of culture
thesis and examining various national and cultural contexts, the
collection outlines ways in which a process of paramilitarization
is shaping the world through the promotion of new warrior
archetypes. It is argued that while the paramilitary hero is
associated with military themes, their character is in tension with
the central principals of modern military organization, something
that often challenges the state's perceived monopoly on violence.
As such paramilitization has profound implications for
institutional military identity, the influence of paramilitary
organizations and broadly how organised violence is popularly
understood
