Traditionally, theoretical and historical approaches to armed groups have focused on different categories of armed groups?insurgents, radical groups, militias, governmental forces?instead of treating them as unitary actors in international politics. This Brief departs from this traditional theoretical treatment, arguing that armed groups are fundamental units of politics, outside of class, gender, and the state, and should be analyzed as such. The book begins with a discussion of current classifications and definitions of armed groups as well as methodological approaches towards studying them. Chapter Two discusses armed groups from a historical and anthropological perspective. Chapter Three presents a critical analysis and interpretation of existing political perspectives on armed groups. The book concludes by introducing the new theory. Challenging traditional methods of political theory and analysis while providing a solid introduction to the field, this Brief will be of use to researchers and scholars in political theory, international relations, political science, and anthropology, as well as to professionals in fields such as policing, counter-terrorism, and internal affairs. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Political Science,$x2191-5466 606 $aPolitical theory 606 $aPeace 606 $aTerrorism 606 $aPolitical violence 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aPolitical Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911010 606 $aConflict Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912060 606 $aTerrorism and Political Violence$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912090 606 $aInternational Relations Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912110 615 0$aPolitical theory. 615 0$aPeace. 615 0$aTerrorism. 615 0$aPolitical violence. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 14$aPolitical Theory. 615 24$aConflict Studies. 615 24$aTerrorism and Political Violence. 615 24$aInternational Relations Theory. 676 $a303.6 700 $aMiroiu$b Andrei$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0969883 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910411948003321 996 $aPolitical Theory of Armed Groups$92226053 997 $aUNINA
