Description:
In this seminar, Dr. Luis Schenoni will talk about his book Bringing Back War In. This book 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. It demonstrates that international wars in nineteenth-century Latin America triggered state-building, that the outcomes of those wars affected the legitimacy and continuity of such efforts, and that the relative capacity of states in this region today continues to reflect those distant processes.
