The events of the 11th of September 2001 revealed most dramatically
that globalization has a shadow. While large sections of the
world's population enjoy the perceived benefits of globalization,
others seek to utilize globalization for their own politically
violent purposes. If 9/11 demonstrated anything, it is that
globalization can as readily facilitate violence and insecurity as
it can produce stability, prosperity and political order.
This edited volume offers important new methodological and
multi-disciplinary insights into the study of globalization and
political violence. It brings together studies from various
disciplines in order to address the precise nature of the
relationship between globalization and political violence as it
seeks to offer new theoretical and empirical understandings of the
types of actors involved in political violence, either as
perpetrators or victims.
Examples of the studies include the changing character of state
militaries and state-to-state conflict under globalization, the
emergence of 'new wars' fuelled by globalization, the role of state
militaries in intervention, new forms of violence directed by
states against refugees and anti-globalization protesters, the role
of terrorist actors post-9/11, networks for the proliferation of
weapons of mass destruction and the rise of private military firms
amongst others.
The Globalization of Political Violence will be of interest to
students and researchers of politics, international relations,
security studies and international political economy.
