Retrieving the older but surprisingly neglected language of
household governance, Economy of Force offers a radical new account
of the historical rise of the social realm and distinctly social
theory as modern forms of oikonomikos - the art and science of
household rule. The techniques and domestic ideologies of household
administration are highly portable and play a remarkably central
role in international and imperial relations. In two late-colonial
British 'emergencies' in Malaya and Kenya, and US
counterinsurgencies in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq, armed social
work was the continuation of oikonomia - not politics - by other
means. This is a provocative new history of counterinsurgency with
major implications for social, political and international theory.
Historically rich and theoretically innovative, this book will
interest scholars and students across the humanities and social
sciences, especially politics and international relations, history
of social and political thought, history of war, social theory and
sociology.
