But whereas it is often believed that the point of constitutional politics is to make violence unnecessary, others argue that it is an unavoidable element of politics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this lucid and erudite book, Elizabeth Frazer and Kimberly Hutchings address these issues using vivid contemporary and historic examples. They carefully explore the strategies that have been deployed to condone violence, either as means to certain ends or as an inherent facet of politics. Examining the complex questions raised by different types of violence, they conclude that, ultimately, all attempts to justify political violence fail.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will be essential introductory reading for students and scholars of the ethics and politics of political violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElizabeth Frazer\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Politics at the University of Oxford.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKimberly Hutchings\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Politics and International Relations at Queen Mary University of London.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50416529637650,"sku":"9781509529216","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_e25ff621-e697-4c59-9483-83d5de9d768e.jpg?v=1729425311","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/can-political-violence-ever-be-justified-9781509529216","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
