Criminality, Political Power and Conflict - Critical Perspectives

This volume brings together contributions from various scholars working on the intersections between political power, criminality and conflict in three continents. Through qualitative methods and rich empirical data, the volume contributes to the understanding of politicisation and criminalisation as processes that are largely co-constitutive and, at the same time, grounded historically.
