    "Paramilitarism and Neoliberalism: Violent Systems of Capital Accumulation in Colombia..." by Jasmin Hristov

    "Paramilitarism and Neoliberalism: Violent Systems of Capital Accumulation in Colombia and Beyond" by Jasmin Hristov
    PlutoPress | 2014 | ISBN: 0745335012 9780745335018 9781783712328 | 241 pages | PDF | 5 MB

    This is the first study to provide a theoretical understanding of paramilitary violence as an instrument of neo-liberal globalization. The book theorises extreme expression in light of forced displacement, labour repression, subjugation of social movements, decentralisation of violence, drug trafficking and the emergence of a variety of para-institutional armed actors across Latin America.

    This book exposes in this vitally important study the links between paramilitary force, state repression and plunder by local and transnational elites in Colombia and elsewhere.

    The activities of paramilitary groups in the post-demobilisation era, their involvement in human rights violations, and their multi-level support networks inside major state institutions are documented, with a particular emphasis on violent dispossession and illegal land appropriation that has benefited agroindustries and mining enterprises.
    Author engages in a Marxist political economy approach, combined with a global sociological perspective, allowing for an expansive and deep-reaching understanding of paramilitarism as a phenomenon with many faces, ultimately illustrating how it is increasingly becoming the coercive counterpart of global capital.
