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.--amazon.com. 000938565 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000938565 650_0 $$aSocial control$$xPolitical aspects. 000938565 650_0 $$aSocial structure$$xPolitical aspects. 000938565 650_0 $$aPolitical violence. 000938565 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3030510115$$z9783030510114$$w(OCoLC)1155323698 000938565 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in political science. 000938565 852__ $$bebk 000938565 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-51012-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000938565 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:938565$$pGLOBAL_SET 000938565 980__ $$aEBOOK 000938565 980__ $$aBIB 000938565 982__ $$aEbook 000938565 983__ $$aOnline 000938565 994__ $$a92$$bISE
