There is a sprawling scholarship on violence, crime, and corrupt
state rule; yet few have interpreted these challenges as
transformative at the global scale and as a potential source of
alternative, non-state, legitimacy. This volume challenges
"Westphalian conservativism" in a provocative yet plausible manner,
shedding light at the ubiquity and diversity of unfolding non-state
agendas and at their effect on the imagined state community.
Focusing on civil war parties, warlords, commercial providers of
security, multinational companies and criminal organizations, the
book directs attention to theoretical questions and policy
challenges arising from non-state armed expansion. To accomplish
this, the contributors present a range of case studies and
comparisons within three thematic sections: the first takes stock
of how, when, and in what measure state and state-system legitimacy
are challenged by non-state violent or criminal activity; the
second addresses the nature, effectiveness, and side-effects of
different state-mandated reaction to non-state activities; and
third focuses on the recombination of state and non-state actors
contributing to processes of socio-political transformation. This
volume provides a current analysis of different armed and violent
actors encroaching on the state's monopoly of violence. It seeks to
spark debate about global political change and will be of interest
to students and scholars of global governance, global security, and
international relations.
