Rethinking Political Violence series

This exciting series provides a space in which to interrogate and challenge much of the conventional wisdom on political violence. Books in the series are at the forefront of research, pushing forward new debate in the field of political violence without rehashing clichés about security, violence and ‘terrorism’. Authors from both the critical and orthodox perspectives use the book series to reappraise some of the fundamental questions facing societies on how to deal with and interpret organised violence. Many of the books in the series are comparative, draw on fieldwork, and use insights from a variety of methodologies. Titles include: Linda Åhäll and Laura J. Shepherd (editors) GENDER, AGENCY AND POLITICAL VIOLENCE Barrie Collins RWANDA 1994 The Myth of the Akazu Genocide Conspiracy and Its Consequences Stephen Gibson and Simon Mollan (editors) REPRESENTATIONS OF PEACE AND CONFLICT Caroline Holmqvist POLICING WARS On Military Intervention in the Twenty-First Century David Martin Jones and M.L.R.
