It argues that the persistence of privatised violence is not solely related to the historical formation of the institutions of state power and authority; it is also intricately related to predatory forms of capitalist development. Within such contexts, privatised violence is not an obstruction, but instrumental for the capital accumulation process, constituting a state of disorder. The book contributes to understanding not only Indonesia's privatised violence but also the nature of Indonesian politics and the state. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEndorsements: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKatharine McGregor\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePresident of the Asian Studies Association of Australia\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough rich case studies analysing the use of privatised violence throughout Indonesian history up to the present, combined with rich comparative analysis, \u003ci\u003eState of Disorder\u003c\/i\u003e provides groundbreaking insights into the relationship between violence and capitalism.

Mudhoffir develops a powerful critique of neo-Weberian accounts of privatised violence and makes a compelling case for considering how such violence is in fact underpinned by the demands of Indonesia's brand of \"predatory capitalism\". With this timely intervention, Mudhoffir establishes himself as a formidable new voice in Indonesian studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaul K.

Violence is rather an accompaniment of the contemporary political economy. Thus, Mudhoffir rightly emphasises that violence will not be eliminated by simple calls for democracy, for strengthening a state that is too \"weak\" to control violence or for establishing \"rule of law\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book examines the theme of privatised violence in different political settings by focusing on the Indonesian case.
