War, Police and Assemblages of Intervention This book reflects on the way in which war and police/policing intersect in con- temporary Western-led interventions in the global South. The volume combines empirically oriented work with ground-breaking theoretical insights and aims to collect, for the first time, thoughts on how war and policing converge, amalgam- ate, diffuse and dissolve in the context both of actual international intervention and in understandings thereof. The book uses the caption war:police to highlight the distinctiveness of this volume in presenting a variety of approaches that share a concern for the assem- blage of war/police as a whole. The volume thus serves to bring together criti- cal perspectives on liberal interventionism where the logics of war and police/ policing blur and bleed into a complex assemblage of war:police. Contributions to this volume offer an understanding of police as a technique of ordering and collectively take issue with accounts of the character of contemporary war that argue that war is simply reduced to policing. In contrast, the contributions show how – both historically and conceptually – the two are ‘always already’ con- nected. Contributions to this volume come from a variety of disciplines including international relations, war studies, geography, anthropology and law but share a critical/poststructuralist approach to the study of international intervention, war and policing. This work will be of interest to students and scholars in a range of areas includ- ing international intervention, contemporary war/military studies, and conflict and post-conflict reconstruction and management.

Interventions Edited by Jenny Edkins, Aberystwyth University and Nick Vaughan-Williams, University of Warwick As Michel Foucault has famously stated, ‘knowledge is not made for u nderstanding; it is made for cutting.’ In this spirit the Edkins–Vaughan-Williams Interventions series solicits cutting edge, critical works that challenge mainstream understandings in international relations. It is the best place to contribute post disciplinary works that think rather than merely recognize and affirm the world recycled in IR’s traditional geopolitical imaginary. Michael J. Shapiro, University of Hawai’i at Mãnoa, USA The series aims to advance understanding of the key areas in which scholars working within broad critical post-structural and post-colonial traditions have chosen to make their interventions, and to present innovative analyses of important topics. Titles in the series engage with critical thinkers in philosophy, sociology, poli- tics and other disciplines and provide situated historical, empirical and textual studies in international politics.
