War Power, Police Power

Mark Neocleous

Why is liberalism so obsessed with waste? Is there a drone above you now? Are you living in a no-fly zone? What is the role of masculinity in the ‘war on terror’? And why do so many liberals profess a love of peace while finding new ways to justify slaughter in the name of ‘peace and security’? In this, the first book to deal with the concepts of war power and police power together, Mark Neocleous deals with these questions and many more by radically rethinking the relationship between war power and police power.

Reviews of War Power, Police Power

"Neocleous's endeavour is disciplinarily radical in viewing the phenomena of war and police together, where their standard investigation is as discrete and discretely conceptualized instances … War Power, Police Power is a salutary intervention into thinking the nature of armed power and violence and their ubiquity in our brave new world."–Philip Derbyshire, Radical Philosophy
