In a world of diffuse conflicts taking place across sprawling cities, war has become fragmented and uneven to match its settings. Yet the analysis of failed states, civil war, and state building rarely considers the city, rather than the country, as the terrain of battle. In Cities at War, Mary Kaldor and Saskia Sassen assemble an international team of scholars to examine cities as sites of contemporary warfare and insecurity. Reflecting Kaldor's expertise on security cultures and Sassen's perspective on cities and their geographies, they develop new insight into how cities and their residents encounter instability and conflict, as well as the ways in which urban forms provide possibilities for countering violence. Through a series of case studies of cities including Baghdad, Bogotá, Ciudad Juarez, Kabul, and Karachi, the book reveals the unequal distribution of insecurity as well as how urban capabilities might offer resistance and hope. Through analyses of how contemporary forms of identity, inequality, and segregation interact with the built environment, Cities at War explains why and how political violence has become increasingly urbanized. It also points toward the capacity of the city to shape a different kind of urban subjectivity that can serve as a foundation for a more peaceful and equitable future.Mary Kaldor, Saskia Sassen, editorsLiteraturangabenUrban warfare / Developing countries / Case studiesInternal security / Developing countries / Case studiesMetropolitan areas / Developing countries / Strategic aspectsUrban violence / Developing countries / Case studiesPolitical violence / Developing countries / Case studiesLow-intensity conflicts (Military science) / Developing countriesHuman security / Developing countries / Case studiesSociology, UrbanGlobal / Stadt / Stadtbevölkerung / Krieg / Sicherheit / Unsicherheit / Sicherheitsvorstellungen / Bedrohungsvorstellungen (Gesellschaft) / Gewalttätigkeit / Kriminalität / FallstudieGlobal / Towns / Urban population / War / Security / Insecurity / Security concepts / Perceptions of threat (society) / Violence / Criminality/delinquency / Case studiesMali / Afghanistan / Irak / Mexiko / Pakistan / Kongo (Kinshasa) / Kolumbien / SerbienMali / Afghanistan / Iraq / Mexico / Pakistan / Congo (Kinshasa) / Colombia / Serbia|U167.5.S771.1471.12KXP1676436294978-0-231-18539-4978-0-231-18538-7HT0209254069780231546133Cities at WarNew YorkNY : Columbia University Press, 20201 Online-RessourceOnline-Ausgabe9780231546133https://www.gbv.de/dms/bowker/toc/9780231185394.pdf46631OBG15592021051420210614OBG1559rda https://ce.visuallibrary.net//domainresource/static/graphics/connectors/viewerLogo.gif http://193.30.112.129:83/F/?func=find-c&ccl_term=ICS%3DOBG1559 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/id/1100281 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/i3f/v20/1100281/manifest https://ce.visuallibrary.net/proto_ftsearch/1100281
