Can we understand torture by focusing on the torture chamber or
even on the states in which it is practiced, or do we have to
consider the wider political context in which it is embedded? This
is the central question of this book which explores concepts of
state crime for understanding and responding to the indirect use of
torture by external nation states. Drawing on the cooperation
between France and Argentina in Argentina's Dirty War, this book
explores the utility of the concept of state crime for
understanding and responding to the indirect use of torture by
external nation states with a detailed examination of the
exportation of torture techniques and training expertise as
complicity in torture. Discussing the institutionalisation of
torture in its international structural context, this book focuses
on examining three alleged manifestations of the torturer: direct
perpetrator, institutional perpetrator, and transnational
institutional perpetrator. Important reading for those in the
fields of criminology, sociology, international relations and human
rights law, this book will also be of key interest to scholars and
students in the areas of state crime, human rights and imperialism.
