The Economies of Violence, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The hidden interplay between violence and economies has long eluded public scrutiny, remaining a neglected topic in both academic and policy circles. The Economies of Violence sets out to change this.

In the 1990s, amidst proclamations of the "liberal peace", democratic nations sidestepped discussions about violent influences within their borders. But the repercussions of economic violence, spanning psychological trauma to societal upheaval, persist globally. Beyond preconceived ideas limiting violence to geographic areas and certain political regimes, identifying the profiteers and veiled beneficiaries of such systems is paramount. This understanding is crucial in dismantling the undemocratic underpinnings of economies of violence, fostering a path towards equity and peace.
