Civilian Protective Agency in Violent Settings : A Comparative Perspective PDF
Edited by Jana Krause, Juan Masullo, Emily Paddon Rhoads, Jennifer Welsh
Description
More than half the world's population live in violent settings, such as civil wars, communal conflicts, cities plagued by gang violence, and entire areas governed by criminal organizations.
Living exposed to diverse forms of violence, individuals and communities have found innovative-and sometimes counterintuitive-ways to protect themselves and others.
Civilian Protective Agency in Violent Settings establishes the study of civilian agency and its protectivedimension across various violent settings as a systematic and unified field of research.
It brings together researchers spanning several social science disciplines to study civilian protective agency in different violent settings, including civil war, genocide, communal violence, and organized crime, and invarious geographical locations, from Syria to Mozambique, Sri Lanka to Mexico, Iraq to Colombia and Western Europe.
The volume offers conceptual foundations, new theoretical insights, and detailed empirics that advance our understanding of civilian protective agency and promote future research on the topic that is comparable, tractable, and cumulative.
