It has suffered waves of repressive authoritarian rule, organized armed insurgency and civil war, violent protest, and ballooning rates of criminal violence. But is violence hard-wired into Latin America?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is a critical reassessment of the ways in which violence in Latin America is addressed and understood. Previous approaches have relied on structural perspectives, attributing the problem of violence to Latin America's colonial past or its conflictual contemporary politics. Bringing together scholars and practitioners, this volume argues that violence is often rooted more in contingent outcomes than in deeply embedded structures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAddressing topics ranging from the root sources of violence in Haiti to kidnapping in Colombia, from the role of property rights in patterns of violence to the challenges of peacebuilding, \u003cem\u003eThe Politics of Violence in Latin America\u003c\/em\u003e is an essential step towards understanding the causes and contexts of violence--and changing the mechanisms that produce it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pablo Policzer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1552389065\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781552389065\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Calgary Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 8.30w x 0.60d","brand":"Pablo Policzer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44567169761535,"sku":"9781552389065","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2446a1b2-7f77-427f-806e-cd23fb2eae75.jpg?v=1701376363","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-politics-of-violence-in-pablo-policzer-9781552389065","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
