This book provides a novel approach to the social scientific study of violence. It argues for an ''extended'' definition of violence in order to avoid subscribing to commonsensical or state propagated definitions of violence, and pays specific attention to ''autotelic violence'' (violence for the sake of itself), as well as to terrorism.

Internationally-renowned scholars, including Zygmunt Bauman, Saskia Sassen, Loic Wacquant and Craig Calhoun come together in this exciting new collection to debate the role of the nation state in an age of globalization, examining key areas including finance, migration, terrorism, crime, the welfare state and the legal system.
