Endorsement This cutting edge volume is a vital contribution to recent explorations on the concept and practice of pacifi cation. The chapters in the book show how pacification is embedded in the evolution of capitalist accumulation. Together, they connect a number of state practices - from the history of Europeanc colonialism, to the re-emergence of counterinsurgency strategies among Western states and the law and order techniques of control turned inward on domestic populations. Pacifi cation, we learn, does not always reply on straightforward expressions of violence, but is often coded as re-construction, humanitarianism or peace. With a view to the uniquely spatial and productive practices at the heart of pacifi cation, this book is a thoughtful examination of the incredible eff ort expended upon managing, repressing, and re-constituting resistance to imperialism and capitalism. - Colleen Bell, Department of Political Studies, University of Saskatchewan
