Drawing on original field-research with British soldiers, it offers insights into how their everyday experiences are shaped by, and shape, a politics of gender, race and sexuality that not only underpins power relations in the military, but the geopolitics of wars waged by liberal states. Linking the politics of daily life to the international is an intervention into international relations (IR) and security studies because instead of overlooking the politics of the everyday, this book insists that it is vital to explore how geopolitical events and practices are co-constituted, reinforced and contested by it. By utilising insights from Michel Foucault, the book explores how shared and collectively mediated knowledge on gender, race and sexuality facilitates certain claims about the nature of governing in liberal states and about why and how such states wage war against 'illiberal' ones in pursuit of global peace and security. The book also develops post-structural work in international relations by urging scholars interested in the linguistic construction of geopolitics to consider the ways in which bodies, objects and architectures also reinforce particular ideas about war, identity and statehood. 410 0$aInterventions series. 606 $aSociology, Military$zGreat Britain 606 $aSoldiers$zGreat Britain$xAttitudes 606 $aWomen soldiers$zGreat Britain$xSocial conditions 606 $aSex role$zGreat Britain 606 $aMasculinity$zGreat Britain 606 $aGeopolitics 607 $aGreat Britain$xRace relations 615 0$aSociology, Military 615 0$aSoldiers$xAttitudes. 615 0$aWomen soldiers$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aSex role 615 0$aMasculinity 615 0$aGeopolitics. 676 $a306.270941 700 $aBasham$b Victoria.$01613738 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816422903321 996 $aWar, identity and the liberal state$93943181 997 $aUNINA
