Handbook on Transformations of Political Violence

The Routledge “Handbook on Trans­formations of Political Violence” (open access) brings together the various research strands and perspec­tives of TraCe and reflects the interdisciplinary colla­boration within the research network. The contri­butions examine political violence in a con­stantly changing global context and explore how its forms, institutional frameworks, and societal inter­pretations are evolving.

The hand­book brings together perspectives from political science, socio­logy, anthropology, history, cultural studies, and law, em­ploying a variety of theoretical, methodological, and em­pirical approaches. The questions addressed in the volume are gui­ded by the consor­tium’s central research areas:

• How do forms of political vio­lence change over time?
• What role do insti­tutions play in shaping these changes?
• How do different actors interpret various mani­festations of political violence and assign mea­ning to them?

In this way, the hand­book provides a systematic overview of the current state of research and syn­thesizes key findings from the TraCe research.
