Contemporary violence: Postmodern war in Kosovo and Chechnya draws
on several years of field research, as well as interpretive IR
theory and analysis of empirical source material so as to shed
light on contemporary violence. It is now available in paperback
for the first time. Drawing on interpretive approaches to
international relations, the book argues that founding events and
multiple contexts informed the narratives deployed by different
members of each movement, illustrating why elements within the
Kosovo Liberation Army and the armed forces of the Chechen republic
of Ichkeria favoured regional and local strategies of war in the
Balkans and the North Caucasus. The book draws on post-positivist
analysis and empirical research so as unravel the relationship
between narratives, stories and hermeneutic accounts of
international relations; regional politics and trans-local
identity; globalisation and visual aspects of contemporary
security; criminality and emotionality; which together illustrate
the dynamics within the armed resistance movements in Kosovo and
the North Caucasus and the road to war in 1999. The book is a major
addition to a small field of genuinely readable studies of IR
theory. The book will be of interest to academics, researchers,
students, area studies experts and policy-makers seeking to
understand the formation of the armed resistance movements in
Kosovo and Chechnya. Amongst other things, the book will be of
interest to students and scholars of international relations,
political studies, area studies, as well as those within cultural
and historical and sociological studies. -- .
