The Production and Restraint of Military Violence

This chapter explains the differences in soldier participation in violence during irregular war. It discusses why soldiers sometimes inflict violence eagerly, but at other times evade or resist using force. It also looks into forms of violence that are readily adopted or deemed excessive and inappropriate. The chapter analyzes the processes through which soldiers go to accept violence as legitimate, including what are the limits of these processes. It draws on a detailed case study of the Israel Defense Forces' (IDF) repression of the Palestinian insurgency from 2000 to 2005, known as the Second Intifada. The chapter also focuses on the production and restraint of violence in the modern Western military.
