The war phenomenon and states of violence in the Central African Republic

The "war phenomenon" (Gaston Bouthoul: 1962) in the Central African Republic mobilizes in an antagonism that reaches all domains (political, economic, social, cultural, ethical, moral) state and non-state, sub-national, international and transnational factors and actors that generate "states of violence" (Frédéric Gros: 2006) which, in their manifestations, all lead to massacres, ethnic cleansing, war crimes and crimes against humanity. They are the consecration of the irreconcilable, with the particularity, as Bertrand. Badie and Dominique Vidal (2014; 2016; p. 9), the disruption of the notions of "enemies", "sovereignty" and even "order" and "disorder". They are, in their complexity, the illustration of the "shipwreck of a state, the agony of a nation" (Didier Niewiadowski: 2014) specific to the situation of "collapsed states" (Zartmann Ira William, 1995), and do not leave any analysis that wants to be polemological and geopolitical indifferent.

Klappentext

The "war phenomenon" (Gaston Bouthoul: 1962) in the Central African Republic mobilizes in an antagonism that reaches all domains (political, economic, social, cultural, ethical, moral) state and non-state, sub-national, international and transnational factors and actors that generate "states of violence" (Frédéric Gros: 2006) which, in their manifestations, all lead to massacres, ethnic cleansing, war crimes and crimes against humanity. They are the consecration of the irreconcilable, with the particularity, as Bertrand. Badie and Dominique Vidal (2014; 2016; p. 9), the disruption of the notions of "enemies", "sovereignty" and even "order" and "disorder". They are, in their complexity, the illustration of the "shipwreck of a state, the agony of a nation" (Didier Niewiadowski: 2014) specific to the situation of "collapsed states" (Zartmann Ira William, 1995), and do not leave any analysis that wants to be polemological and geopolitical indifferent.
