This book reflects on the way in which war and police/policing
intersect in contemporary Western-led interventions in the global
South. The volume combines empirically oriented work with
ground-breaking theoretical insights and aims to collect, for the
first time, thoughts on how war and policing converge, amalgamate,
diffuse and dissolve in the context both of actual international
intervention and in understandings thereof. The book uses the
caption WAR:POLICE to highlight the distinctiveness of this volume
in presenting a variety of approaches that share a concern for the
assemblage of war-police as a whole. The volume thus serves to
bring together critical perspectives on liberal interventionism
where the logics of war and police/policing blur and bleed into a
complex assemblage of WAR:POLICE. Contributions to this volume
offer an understanding of police as a technique of ordering and
collectively take issue with accounts of the character of
contemporary war that argue that war is simply reduced to policing.
In contrast, the contributions show how - both historically and
conceptually - the two are 'always already' connected.
Contributions to this volume come from a variety of disciplines
including international relations, war studies, geography,
anthropology, and law but share a critical/poststructuralist
approach to the study of international intervention, war and
policing. This volume will be useful to students and scholars who
have an interest in social theories on intervention, war, security,
and the making of international order.
