In an age when capital wins time and again and everyone from politicians to academics insist that we must all bow down in the name of security, this book challenges the power of both. The outcome is a radical deployment of the concept of pacification which will transform our understanding of the wars carried out in the name of security/capital.--Mark Neocleous, Brunel University In this powerful interrogation, Rigakos clarifies and extends pacification theory by showing the intimate connection between capitalism and (in)security, historically and here today. His passionate message is that no vision of a post-capitalist future can afford not to take security seriously.--Georgios Papanicolaou, Teesside University
