Title: BEYOND SECURITY, ETHICS AND VIOLENCE
Description: "Anthony Burke offers an analysis of the historical roots of sovereignty and security, his critique of just war theory, and new essays on strategy, the concept of freedom and US exceptionalism. He pursues searching critical engagements with thinkers such as Giorgio Agamben, Hardt and Negri, Emmanuel Levinas, Carl von Clausewitz, Jean Bethke Elshtain, Michael Walzer, Michel Foucault and William Connolly. Combining a diversity of critical thought with analyses of the war on terror, Iraq, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Vietnam war, the Indonesian crisis, globalisation and the new drive for empire, Burke refuses easy answers, or to abandon hope." "This study will be of key interest to students and researchers of politics and international relations, security studies, social and cultural theory and philosophy."--Jacket.
