Description

Explore the deep connection between liberal governance and the nature of modern conflict in The Liberal Way of War: Killing to Make Life Live. Published by Routledge, this book examines how the liberal way of rule and the liberal way of war are fundamentally correlated. It traces these connections back to the core commitment of liberalism: the mission of making life live. This work investigates how liberalism engages in war to promote the biopolitical life of species being, a concept the author refers to as the biohuman. By tracking the transition into the age of life-as-information, the text provides a detailed analysis of complex, adaptive, and emergent systems. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the tension between biopolitics and geopolitics, as well as the ways in which the liberal way of rule wages war on the human in pursuit of its goals. This is an essential read for those studying international relations, political philosophy, and the evolving nature of global conflict.
