بازسازی درگیری: ادغام جغرافیای جنگ و پساجنگ (ژئوپولیتیک‌های انتقادی)

Reconstruction - the rebuilding of state, economy, culture and society in the wake of war - is a powerful idea, and a profoundly transformative one. From the refashioning of new landscapes in bombed-out cities and towns to the reframing of national identities to accommodate changed historical narratives, the term has become synonymous with notions of "post-conflict" society; it draws much of its rhetorical power from the neat demarcation, both spatially and temporally, between war and peace. The reality is far more complex.In this volume, reconstruction is identified as a process of conflict and of militarized power, not something that clearly demarcates a post-war period of peace. Kirsch and Flint bring together an internationally diverse range of studies by leading scholars to examine how periods of war and other forms of political violence have been justified as processes of necessary and valid reconstruction as well as the role of war in catalyzing the construction of new political institutions and destroying old regimes. Challenging the false dichotomy between war and peace, this book explores instead the ways that war and peace are mutually constituted in the creation of historically specific geographies and geographical knowledges. Over The Last Quarter-century, Evangelicalism Has Become An Important Social And Political Force In Modern America.

Challenging the false dichotomy between war and peace, this book explores instead the ways that war and peace are mutually constituted in the creation of historically specific geographies and geographical knowledges. This timely book explores the diverse geographies of the War on Terror. Drawing on recent advances in social theory, it offers new case studies and theoretical reflections on one of the central issues in contemporary geopolitics. Unlike more traditional forms of geopolitical research, the authors neither seek to advise particular foreign and security making communities, nor privilege a select group of states such as the United States and its allies, nor focus solely on headline geopolitical issues. Bringing together a wide-range of examples within practical, popular and formal geopolitical imaginations, practices and experiences, this volume considers how these both rely upon and contest relations of gender, race and coloniality. It addresses current debates in social theory by deploying three broad approaches to interrogate the War on Terror: discourse and performance; biopolitics and governmentality; and affect. In doing so, the book demonstrates the reach of the War on Terror into a wide variety of social contexts, its effects, and how people are responding to it Drawing on critical geopolitics and related strands of social theory, this book combines new case studies with theoretical and methodological reflections on the geographical analysis of security and insecurity. It brings together a mixture of early career and more established scholars and interprets security and the war on terror across a number of domains, including: international law, religion, migration, development, diaspora, art, nature and social movements. At a time when powerful projects of globalization and security continue to extend their reach over an increasingly wide circle of people and places, the book demonstrates the relevance of critical geographical imaginations to an interrogation of the present. This volume brings together an internationally diverse range of studies by leading scholars to examine the relationship between conflict and reconstruction. They look at how periods of war and other forms of political violence have been justified as processes of necessary and valid reconstruction as well as the role of war in catalyzing the construction of new and socially progressive institutions and destroying old regimes.
