  Book Description
  Publication Date: April 27, 2009 | Edition: 1
  The book brings together
scholarship on three different forms of state violence, examining each for what it can tell us about the conditions
under which states use violence and the significance of violence to our understanding of states. The contributors to
this book demonstrate that states of violence thus have a history and sociology. Yet wherever the state acts violently,
the legitimacy of its acts must be engaged with the real facts of war, capital punishment, and the ugly realities of
death. This book calls into question the legitimacy of state uses of violence and mounts a sustained effort at
interpretation, sense making, and critique. It suggests that condemning the state's decisions to use lethal force is not
a simple matter of abolishing the death penalty or - to take another exemplary example of the killing state - demanding
that the state engage only in just (publicly declared and justified) wars, pointing out that even such overt instances
of lethal force are more elusive as targets of critique than one might think. Indeed, altering such decisions may do
little to change the essential relationship of the state to violence. To change that relationship we must also attend to
the violent state as a state of mind, a state of mind that is not just a social or psychological condition but also a
moral commitment and/or a philosophical position.

  Review
  "This
well-rounded collection of essays asks the reader to re-configure how we think of a state's decision to use violence. It
is not about the insistence of its citizens that the state only engage in justified acts of violence or about
eliminating capital punishment, but rather how we evaluate the relationship between the sovereign state and its
citizens.... It would therefore be remiss, not only for those already interested in issues dealing with states of
violence, but also the novice reader, not to pick up a copy of this edited volume since it illuminates a
state-constructing narrative and how discussions of 'war, punishment and structural violence,' once discussed
separately, can illuminate each other by discussing them side by side."
  - Kimberley Fletcher, Law and Politics
