The book offers a novel lens to situate Europeanisation as violence through institutions and technologies of development, cultural heritage, and borders, among others by bringing South and East within a relational frame. Through four inter-related sections, it foregrounds Europeanisation as infrastructural violence and colonial asymmetries, slow violence and the construction of stratified subalternities, epistemic dispossession, and border epistemologies.
The book explores the violence enacted on Europes many internal and external Souths and Easts through forms of political, cultural and security-development related Europeanisation. It proposes inter-referencing between South and East as a space of political possibilities emerging through and despite of the violence of Europeanisation.
