In the Shadow of Violence

The Politics of Armed Groups

About this book

SpĂ€testens seit den AnschlĂ€gen vom 11. September sind nicht-staatliche Kriegsakteure in den Mittelpunkt des wissenschaftlichen und außenpolitischen Interesses gerĂŒckt. Doch wie lassen sich ihr Handeln, ihre Strategien und ihre Organisation begreifen? Klaus Schlichte betont den politischen Charakter bewaffneter Gruppen, fĂŒr den der Zusammenhang von Gewalt und LegitimitĂ€t zentral ist. Damit setzt er sich von jenen Arbeiten ab, die ökonomische Interessen oder »religiösen Fundamentalismus « zur ErklĂ€rung heranziehen. Sein Vergleich von 15 LĂ€ndern zeigt, dass nicht-staatliche Gruppen immer in engen Beziehungen zu Staaten stehen und das Ziel haben, ihre Macht der Gewalt in politische Herrschaft zu transformieren.
