European Security Studies has traditionally focused on the functional outcomes of defence and security policies, but it should shift towards a more critical approach that considers its silence about the realities of organised violence, as well as the economic and institutional entanglements shaping the field. Part of our series 'The production of organised violence'.
This series, inspired by a SPERI workshop in June 2024, explores the intersections between economy and the exercise of organised violence.
