Description
This panel researches the porous boundary of neoliberal military, policing and everyday violence within a colonial historical context, drawing on postcolonial, feminist and Marxist theories. The panel addresses both military practices and their conditions as well as policing practices. It challenges the idea of a binary line separating them, showing instead the continuum of policing and military force. The papers focus on different case studies and conceptual points but share a critical perspective that questions Western-centric assumptions about policing and military violence which embeds the analysis of contemporary practices within a colonial historical context.
