Genocide, Geopolitics and Transnational Networks: Con-textualising the destruction of the Unión Patriótica in Colombia: Routledge Studies in Global and Transnational Politics
Autor Andrei Gomez-Suarezen Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 oct 2017
Moving beyond the analysis of the Colombian case, the book offers a broader interdisciplinary theoretical framework that also attends to transnational relations of perpetrators and resisters and the political economy of affective-dispositions for mapping genocidal conjuncture. Methodologically, the text aims to present a re-interpretation of what constitutes genocide beyond its legal definition and turn towards its political and ethical dimensions to create a conceptual framework in which genocide appears to turn ever more into a decentralized network of various actors that contributed to a genocidal mentality, which, ultimately, enable the destruction of the civil society networks.
This work will be an important contribution to both the debates on genocide and international relations and the study of global connectivities.

Recenzii
A highly original, well researched and provocative re-reading of what the author calls the global 'genocide script'. Genocide is contextualised and explored through the complex dynamics surrounding the systematic killing of members of the Patriotic Union in Colombia. Both this dark period in Colombia's history and the meanings attached to genocide are illuminated.

Andrei Gomez-Suarez maps the historical and political terrain leading to and following the annihilation of the Union Patriotica (UP). He reveals the usual suspects and the strange bedfellows allied in the politicide that set back the country in its earlier peace efforts. This book is an important reference for understanding the complexity behind Colombia's history of armed conflict and its struggle for peace.

Descriere
By studying the destruction of the Union Patrotica (UP) in Colombia - a process usually regarded as one of the extreme by-products of the Colombian armed conflict- through the lens of genocide studies, Gomez-Suarez challenges mainstream international relations, genocide and Colombian armed conflict studies.
