Beskrivning

This text explores the nature and possibility of revolution and civil strife in the context of international politics. "Terrorism, Civil War, and Revolution" analyzes the role of revolution and civil strife in the present day world. Expanding on the 2nd edition of Calvert's "Revolution and International Politics", this new work reflects the drastic changes that have taken place in the world order since 2001. With an increased focus on terrorism and civil war, the book looks into such key issues as the use of force by the state in the international system, challenges to states, wars of national liberation, counterinsurgency, and more. Written in a clear and accessible manner by a respected expert in the field, the book features the most recent examples of events, such as the insurgency in Sri Lanka, the rise of Al-Qaeda, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. This approach will help situate revolutions in the larger context of political violence and will appeal to anyone interested in comparative politics, international relations, and revolutions.

Recensioner i media

"Words are prostitutes. Any terminology useful to the powerful or ambitious will be garbled and reinterpreted, often to counter its original meaning. Terms relating to conflict, or the use of violence and fear, are particularly vulnerable to such abuse. Thus Peter Calvert's latest book should be a must read not only for scholars and policy makers but also for all who are lost in the bewildering cacophony that passes these days for public discourse. Drawing upon extraordinarily broad and deep familiarity with the history of social change and its concomitant social struggle, Calvert salvages the integrity of abused concepts and sorts out fact from fiction, And he offers guidance that we must hope will lead to sounder analysis and policy decisions." --Jan Knippers Black, Professor, Monterey Institute of International Studies and author of The Politics of Human Rights Protection (2010)
