In this, the first book to deal with the concepts of war power and police power together, Mark Neocleous deals with these questions and many more by using critical theory to radically rethink war power.
Neocleous’ incisive and innovative analysis of the war and police nexus must be read by anyone still uncertain about the colonial methods and the multiple forms of violence and subjugation under the new emerging security-police-austerity regimes.
This book completely reimagines connections between war, liberalism and terror and excavates the lineage of capital accumulation as a project of pacification. It is more than radical. It completely upends what we think we know about the modern global economic system.
Neocleous’s endeavour is disciplinarily radical in viewing the phenomena of war and police together, where their standard investigation is as discrete and discretely conceptualized instances … War Power, Police Power is a salutary intervention into thinking the nature of armed power and violence and their ubiquity in our brave new world.
