Peace studies & conflict resolution; Irregular or guerrilla forces & warfare

This

edited volume critically assesses emerging trends in contemporary warfare and

international interventionism as exemplified by the ‘local turn’ in

counterinsurgent warfare. It asks how contemporary counterinsurgency

approaches work and are legitimized; what concrete effects they have within

local settings, and what the implications are for how we can understand the

means and ends of war and peace in our post 9/11 world. This book is essential

reading for anyone interested in understanding recent changes in global

liberal governance as well as the growing convergence of military and

seemingly non-military domains, discourses and practices in the contemporary

making of global political order.
