| Summary: | Cover; Half-title; Series-title; Title; Copyright; Dedication; Contents; Introduction: surplus violence; Muskets, terrorists; Thinking violence; Civilisation; Barbarism?; Why violence?; Uncivil wars; Ethics; Ten rules for democratising violence; Further reading; Index. John Keane offers an original account of the origins of violence, its consequences, its uses and remedies, and the relationship between violence and democracy. Rejecting the view that 'human nature' is violent, Keane shows why mature democracies do not wage war upon each other, and why they are sensitive to violence |
