This is a book about discontents of the global order. Building on
the innovative reading of ISIS as an international revolutionary
actor, it explores the movement's everyday political practices and
confronts them with other global revolutionaries to arrive at a
novel understanding of revolutionary agency in global politics.
Benefiting in particular from Deleuze and Guattari's notion of war
machine and understanding of hybridity, the book shows how modern
revolutionaries seek to disrupt the existing Westphalian order of
modern states, yet are inevitably entangled with it and even
reproduce in their conduct its founding principles. Including
discussions on movements ranging from the Bolsheviks and
Palestinian revolutionary groups to Khomeinists, to insurgents in
Iraq and ISIS, the book pushes forward debates informed by critical
social theory of revolution, violence, resistance and global order.
This edited collection presents an innovative approach to global
security regimes. Employing both conceptual and empirical studies,
the volume examines three empirically-oriented sets of cases:
weapons of mass destruction, humanitarian disarmament and
unconventional threats. The book combines interrogations of the
most prominent prohibition/regulatory regimes while covering WMDs,
humanitarian issues and other agendas such as drugs, endangered
species and cyber security. It will be of interest to academics and
researchers in International Relations and Security Studies.
