Challenging the prevailing belief that organised violence is
experiencing historically continuous decline, this book provides an
in-depth sociological analysis that shows organised violence is, in
fact, on the rise. Malesevic demonstrates that violence is
determined by organisational capacity, ideological penetration and
micro-solidarity, rather than biological tendencies, meaning that
despite pre-modern societies being exposed to spectacles of cruelty
and torture, such societies had no organisational means to
systematically slaughter millions of individuals. Malesevic
suggests that violence should not be analysed as just an event or
process, but also via changing perceptions of those events and
processes, and by linking this to broader social transformations on
the inter-polity and inter-group levels he makes his key argument
that organised violence has proliferated. Focusing on wars,
revolutions, genocides and terrorism, this book shows how modern
social organisations utilise ideology and micro-solidarity to
mobilise public support for mass scale violence.
