Produktbeschreibung
This book explores non-state actors that are or have been migratory, crossing borders as a matter of practice and identity. Where non-state actors have received considerable attention amongst political scientists in recent years, those that predate the state-nomads-have not. States, however, tend to take nomads quite seriously both as a material and ideational threat. Through this volume, the authors rectify this by introducing nomads as a distinct topic of study. It examines why states treat nomads as a threat and it looks particularly at how nomads push back against state intrusions. Ultimately, this exciting volume introduces a new topic of study to IR theory and politics, presenting a detailed study of nomads as non-state actors.

Rezensionen
"A welcome addition to our understanding of nomadic peoples. ... an excellent volume that adds considerable new information and ideas for the further study of nomads. Nomad-State Relationships in International Relations will be of interest to a wide audience. Those interested in nomadic pastoralism will find new insights and others interested in history and the rise of nation states will find value in various chapters. Diplomats and policymakers in the field ... will also benefit from the ideas presented." (Daniel J. Miller, Nomadic Peoples, Vol. 26 (1), 2022)
