《战争、身份和自由国家》批判性地审视了性别、种族和性对自由国家发动的战争以及发动战争的士兵的意义。借鉴与英国士兵的原始实地研究，它提供了他们的生活经验是如何塑造和形状，性别，种族和性的政治，不仅支撑在军事权力关系，但更广泛的战争地缘政治的见解。它探讨了如何共享和集体介导的性别，种族和性行为的知识促进了某些主张的性质，在自由国家的治理，以及为什么和如何这样的国家发动战争对“不自由”的追求全球和平与安全。在将日常生活的政治与国际政治联系起来时，本书坚持认为，至关重要的是要探索地缘政治事件和实践如何在日常经验、实践和空间中共同构成、加强和竞争。这本书还敦促对地缘政治的语言建构感兴趣的学者考虑日常物体，空间和身体也加强了关于战争，身份和国家及其一些暴力后果的特定想法的方式。
War, Identity and the Liberal State critically examines the significance of gender, race and sexuality to wars waged by liberal states and the soldiers who wage them. Drawing on original fieldwork research with British soldiers, it offers insights into how their lived experiences are shaped by, and shape, a politics of gender, race and sexuality that not only underpin power relations in the military, but a wider geopolitics of war. It explores how shared and collectively mediated knowledge on gender, race and sexuality facilitates certain claims about the nature of governing in liberal states and about why and how such states wage war against ‘illiberal’ ones in pursuit of global peace and security. In linking the politics of daily life to the international, this book insists that it is vital to explore how geopolitical events and practices are co-constituted, reinforced and contested in everyday experiences, practices and spaces. The book also urges scholars interested in the linguistic construction of geopolitics to consider the ways in which everyday objects, spaces and bodies also reinforce particular ideas about war, identity and statehood and some of their violent consequences.
