I am delighted to announce that my book “The #Politics of #Military #Force” has just been published by @UofMPress. Here is the mandatory thread on it.

The book explores changing #German #security #policy after #unification from the perspective of the #poststructuralist #discourse #theory of the #EssexSchool.
Based on an analysis of 25 (twenty-five!) years of #parliamentary debates, the book examines how so-called out-of-area operations, once a complete #taboo became established as a social practice. And the answer: #hegemony, baby!
Did I mention that there is also an in-depth discussion of methodological issues, including ontological and epistemological concerns? Awesome, right?
#ontology #epistemology
And all of that right before the holidays. Grandpa's never happy with your gifts? Lift his spirits with some light reading on #Laclau, bam. Aunt Agnes has insomnia? Hook her up with some sweet discussion on moral relativism. There, solved that problem for you.
