Description

Product Description This book provides the first comprehensive analysis of an epochal shift in global order – the fact that global-south countries have taken up leadership roles in peacekeeping missions, humanitarian interventions, and transnational military industries: Brazil has taken charge of the UN military mission in Haiti; Nigeria has deployed peacekeeping troops throughout West Africa; Indonesians have assumed crucial roles in UN Afghanistan operations; Fijians, South Africans, and Chileans have became essential actors in global mercenary firms; Venezuela and its Bolivarian allies have established a framework for "revolutionary" humanitarian interventions; and Turkey, India, Kenya, and Egypt are asserting themselves in bold new ways on the global stage. In this context, this collection sheds critical light on intersections between imperialism and humanitarianism, between neoliberal globalization and "rescue industry" transnationalism, and between patterns of geopolitical hegemony and trajectories of peacekeeping internationalism. These case studies are grouped into three clusters (I) Globalizing Peacekeeper Identities, (II) Assertive "Regional Internationalisms," and (III) Emergent Alternative Paradigms. Together, these articulate a new research agenda and offer significant contributions to fields of global studies, transnational gender and race studies, critical security studies and peace studies, comparative politics, police and military sociology, Third World diplomatic history, and international relations. This book was published as a special issue of Globalizations. About the Author Paul Amar is an Associate Professor in the Global & International Studies Program at the University of California, Santa Barbara, USA. He is a political sociologist and urban ethnographer specializing in security politics, police-military relations, humanitarian law and authoritarian states. He researches the transnational and urban dynamics of police militarization as well as state violence against racial and sexual minorities in the cities of Latin America and the Middle East. Dr. Amar has worked at the United Nations, and on behalf of community struggles to fight police brutality and military atrocity, and to strengthen institutions of citizenship and cultures of legality.
