The massacres that spread across Algeria in 1997 and 1998 shocked
the world, both in their horror and in the international
community's failure to respond. In the years following, the
violence of 1990s Algeria has become a central case study in new
theories of civil conflict and terrorism after the Cold War. Such
"lessons of Algeria" now contribute to a diverse array of
international efforts to manage conflict-from development and
counterterrorism to the Responsibility to Protect doctrine and
transitional justice. With this book, Jacob Mundy raises a critical
lens to these lessons and practices and sheds light on an
increasingly antipolitical scientific vision of armed conflict.
Traditional questions of power and history that once guided
conflict management have been displaced by neoliberal assumptions
and methodological formalism. In questioning the presumed lessons
of 1990s Algeria, Mundy shows that the problem is not simply that
these understandings-these imaginative geographies-of Algerian
violence can be disputed. He shows that today's leading strategies
of conflict management are underwritten by, and so attempt to
reproduce, their own flawed logic. Ultimately, what these policies
and practices lead to is not a world made safe from war, but rather
a world made safe for war.
