Provides a novel perspective on the concept and practice of revolutionary movement as an international phenomenonDraws on Deleuze and Guattari's war machine and understanding of hybridityIntroduces the concept of hybrid revolutionaries as movements that seek to overturn the existing global order, yet draw on and even reproduce some of its founding principlesAdvances current theoretical and practical debates on the state system, revolution and violenceDeploys the conceptual framework to situate ISIS in larger histories of discontents of the international orderThis is a book about discontents of the global order. Building on the innovative reading of ISIS as an international revolutionary actor, it explores the movement's everyday political practices and confronts them with other global revolutionaries to arrive at a novel understanding of revolutionary agency in global politics. Benefiting in particular from Deleuze and Guattari's notion of war machine and understanding of hybridity, the book shows how modern revolutionaries seek to disrupt the existing Westphalian order of modern states, yet are inevitably entangled with it and even reproduce in their conduct its founding principles. Including discussions on movements ranging from the Bolsheviks and Palestinian revolutionary groups to Khomeinists, to insurgents in Iraq and ISIS, the book pushes forward debates informed by critical social theory of revolution, violence, resistance and global order.
