Stewart.In this book, a collection of experts investigate the varied forces - from global systems to local beliefs - that lead to civil violence, chaos and, perhaps, a new political order.The State, Identity and Violence explores acts of mass violence occurring within national borders and examines the links such acts have to personal identities and how they challenge the character or very existence of the state. Building upon the anthropological premises of holism and cross-cultural comparison, this volume shows how violent challenges to existing states should be conceptualized as layered problemsWar and society (Routledge (Firm))Political violencePolitical violenceCase studiesState, TheNation-stateEthnic relationsInternational relationsPolitical violence.Political violenceState, The.Nation-state.Ethnic relations.International relations.303.6Ferguson R.
