Taking as their point of departure violence between groups within a state, or between the state and groups residing within it, the contributions seek to identify and analyse the possible links between culture and violence. Theoretical arguments are balanced with specific case-studies - Sri Lanka, Colombia, Bolivia, Uganda, Venezuela, the US, Brazil, and Chile. The discussions range from considerations of forms of violence, the root factors of violence, the use of ethnic myth in power and violence, and state terrorism, to gender and class factors, violence against children, drug-related violence, and human rights." "These essays will provide new insights and focus for understanding internal violence and its cultural connections to a broad audience of scholars, policy makers, and students of international politics and culture."--Jacket 606 $aCivil war$xSocial aspects$vCase studies 606 $aPolitical violence$xSocial aspects$vCase studies 606 $aViolence$xCross-cultural studies$vCongresses 606 $aViolence$zLatin America$vCongresses 615 0$aCivil war$xSocial aspects 615 0$aPolitical violence$xSocial aspects 615 0$aViolence$xCross-cultural studies 615 0$aViolence 701 $aRubio Correa$b Marcial$01673044 701 $aRupesinghe$b Kumar$01640927 712 02$aUnited Nations University. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807316603321 996 $aThe culture of violence$94036856 997 $aUNINA
