Reviews for The Politics of Conflict. Transubstantiatory Violence in Iraq.
"The Politics of Conflict is on the cutting-edge of contemporary political theory. The development of key concepts such as 'transubstantiatory violence' and 'chthonic security' constitutes a significant contribution to this area of theoretical inquiry, and the development of these concepts in analyzing discourses and actions related to state violence is both elegant and fruitful." Steve Bailey, York University
