Critical dialogue: "economy of force" and "violence and restraint in civil war"

The aim of ‘critical dialogues’ in the journal Perspectives on Politics is to ask authors to ‘reach beyond their comfort zones and to constructively engage… perspectives that normal disciplinary markers often keep segregated from one another’. This is a critical dialogue between Patricia Owens, author of Economy of Force (Cambridge, 2015), and Jessica A. Stanton, author of Violence and Restraint in Civil War (Cambridge, 2016)
