It addresses how this process shapes urban governance agendas, constructs the notion of the \"enemy within,\" and conditions everyday lives. From lockdowns to states of emergency, the book considers urban citizens' agency and resistance, and how to rethink notions of urban peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sunčana Laketa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1529250013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781529250015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bristol University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/25\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Sun\u0026#269;ana Laketa","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46721591967999,"sku":"9781529250015","price":34.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ec3d37db-d240-4a1a-9afa-d7f1c4cf7ad1.jpg?v=1742753325","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cities-of-banal-warfare-sunana-laketa-9781529250015","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
