C&C member Luis Schenoni, Associate Professor and the Director of the Security Studies Programme in the Department of Political Science at UCL, has published his first monograph, Bringing War Back In: Victory, Defeat, and the State in Nineteenth-Century Latin America (Cambridge University Press). In this new book, he provides a fresh theory connecting war and state formation that incorporates the contingency of warfare and the effects of war outcomes in the long run. The book examines how the outcome of wars in the distant past have shaped the modern Latin American states of today. His new book is also on Amazon. You can also find a podcast episode and a blog post on the book.
