Violence is a prevalent and persistent theme in all aspects of
human affairs. A comprehensive understanding of violence therefore
requires exposure to the research coming out from all the
disciplines in the social sciences: their different methodologies,
findings and insights. This book promotes the merits of an
interdisciplinary agenda. By bringing together scholars of violence
working in political science, political theory, international
relations, economics, philosophy, sociology, psychology and public
health, this book explores the complexity of violence and the
interface between the empirical and normative dimensions central to
this problem. The aim is to investigate the ways in which a correct
understanding of this phenomenon must deal with both empirical and
normative issues. There is a tendency for scholars of violence to
work predominantly within the narrow parameters of their own
discipline: philosophers tend to read fellow philosophers on
violence; criminologists tend to rely on the work of fellow
criminologists; sociologists tend to trust the writings of fellow
sociologists; and so on. This book invites the reader to embrace an
interdisciplinary approach towards the universal problem of
violence. (178 words)
