This book offers a Foucauldian analysis of Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism, using the UN Security Council's P/CVE agenda to illustrate how security operates within liberal modernity. Bringing Foucauldian, feminist, and decolonial thought into dialogue, it advances a perspective on the power relations through which security governs society, produces subjects, and organizes political possibilities. The book traces the emergence of P/CVE and shows how it embodies the anticipatory and governmental rationalities of liberal security, while rearticulating the intersecting hierarchies through which modernity orders social and political life. It examines how these processes govern subjects, populations, and political orders across lines of race, gender, religion, class, and geopolitical differences, among others, reproducing the hierarchical structures of liberal modernity. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners seeking to understand responses to violent extremism, but also the ways in which security governs society and structures power relations in contemporary politics.
