Daniel Bultmann

Inside Cambodian Insurgency

A Sociological Perspective on Civil Wars and Conflict

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Within the field of insurgency there are many different types of power practice directed towards making soldiers obedient and disciplined. This book puts forth that the type of power being utilised depends on the habitus of the respective commander and, as a result, becomes socially differentiated. Furthermore, power practices are shaped by the classificatory discourse of commanders (and their soldiers) on good soldierhood and leadership. This book helps professionals in this area to understand better the types of power practice inside insurgencies. It is also a useful guide to students and academics interested in peace and conflict studies, sociology and Southeast Asia.
