War, Identity and the Liberal State critically examines the
significance of gender, race and sexuality to wars waged by liberal
states and the soldiers who wage them. Drawing on original
fieldwork research with British soldiers, it offers insights into
how their lived experiences are shaped by, and shape, a politics of
gender, race and sexuality that not only underpin power relations
in the military, but a wider geopolitics of war. It explores how
shared and collectively mediated knowledge on gender, race and
sexuality facilitates certain claims about the nature of governing
in liberal states and about why and how such states wage war
against 'illiberal' ones in pursuit of global peace and security.
In linking the politics of daily life to the international, this
book insists that it is vital to explore how geopolitical events
and practices are co-constituted, reinforced and contested in
everyday experiences, practices and spaces. The book also urges
scholars interested in the linguistic construction of geopolitics
to consider the ways in which everyday objects, spaces and bodies
also reinforce particular ideas about war, identity and statehood
and some of their violent consequences. This book will be of
interest to students and scholars of international studies,
security, gender and feminist studies and critical and social
theory.
