Synopsis

Violence, Conflict, and World Order: Critical Conversations on State-Sanctioned Justice examines the interpersonal, institutional, and structural relations of injustice and violence, both domestically and globally, through a series of dynamic conversations that are rich with personal and passionate prose, gritty and grounded questioning, and, in several instances, spirited and lively debate. These conversations are attentive not only to the areas of cultural studies and social science in general, but also to the studies of criminology, criminal justice, and public policy in particular.

Media Reviews
Violence, Conflict, and World Order explores the relationship between globalizing social processes and recent changes in the level and forms of violence, representations of these changes and the varying state responses to them. It pinpoints how the development of neoliberal ideologies and forms of economic and political organization has an impact on a range of relationships between individuals and between individuals and wider institutional structures particularly when the consequences are criminal, repressive and socially destructive. The conversations introduce a wide range of contemporary, scholarly, and critical social scientific thinking accessible to advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty. Those involved with Criminology, Criminal Justice, Sociology, and Political Science Programs will be particularly interested. -- Frank Pearce, Queens University
