In providing a counterweight to the notion that political violence
has irrevocably changed in a globalised world, Violence and the
state offers an original and innovative way in which to understand
political violence across a range of discipline areas. It explores
the complex relationship between the state and its continued use of
violence through a variety of historical and contemporary case
studies, including the Napoleonic Wars, Nazi and Soviet
'eliticide', the consolidation of authority in modern China,
post-Soviet Russia, and international criminal tribunals. It also
looks at humanitarian intervention in cases of organised violence,
and the willingness of elites to alter their attitude to violence
if it is an instrument to achieve their own ends. The
interdisciplinary approach, which spans history, sociology,
international law and International Relations, ensures that this
book will be invaluable to a broad cross-section of scholars and
politically engaged readers alike. -- .
