Pacification theory is a counter-hegemonic approach to the study of police and security which views the contemporary security-industrial complex as both an organizing and systematic war strategy targeting domestic and foreign enemies while simultaneously acting as a process that actively fabricates a social order conducive to capitalist accumulation. According to its academic proponents, such an approach to police and security reveals inherent class war dimensions that have been reinforced by police intellectuals since at least the eighteenth century.〔Ozcan, Gulden and George S. Rigakos. 2014. ("Pacification" ) The Wiley Blackwell Encycopedia of Globalization〕 At base, pacification reflects the need to fabricate productive territories and subjects conducive to exploitation.〔George S. Rigakos, John L. McMullan, Joshua Johnson & Gülden Ozcan, Eds. 2009. (A General Police System: Political Economy and Security in the Age of Enlightenment ). Ottawa: Red Quill Books.〕 As Neocleous, Rigakos and Wall〔Mark Neocleous, George S. Rigakos and Tyler Wall. 2013. (On Pacification: Introduction to the Special Issue ). Socialist Studies / Études socialistes 9 (2) Winter 2013:2〕 explain: "The extraction of surplus, as Adam Smith〔Smith, Adam. 1981. An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the (Wealth of Nations ). Indianapolis: Liberty Fund.,p.387〕 admits, can ‘be squeezed out of (labourer ) by violence only, and not by any interest of his own’ if he can subsist otherwise such as through access to communal land. This, in short, is the foundational bourgeois logic for the compulsion to pacify." ==Central tenets== Pacification theory may vary in its use depending on the analyst, but most scholars associated with Anti-security〔Manolov, Martin V. and George S. Rigakos. 2014. "(Anti-security )". The Wiley-Blackwell Encyclopedia of Globalization〕 would likely agree that its central tenets encompass:〔Rigakos, George. ""To Extend the Scope of Productive Labour:" Pacification as a Police Project." (Anti-Security ). Eds. Rigakos, George and Mark Neocleous. Ottawa: Red Quill Books, 2011. 57-83.〕 # problematizing the objectives of security; # building analytic connections instead of masking them; # displacing the ubiquity and reach of security; and # anticipating a state of war (including class war) viewing security as an active, unfinished project rife with resistance. Associated with this last point and serving an essential component of pacification is its immediate connection to making subjects economically "productive" both historically within the plans of military and colonial overseers and by contemporary police actions, both domestic and international. Neocleous has characterized this process as making war through peace:〔Neocleous, Mark. 2010. “(War as Peace, Peace as Pacification ).” Radical Philosophy 159, pp. 8-17.〕 A final element of pacification invoked by scholars in this field of study is its connection to the apparent primacy of security thinking and planning in a capitalist economy. This pronouncement is often linked to Karl Marx's assertion that "security is the supreme concept of bourgeois society" in the Jewish Question.〔Karl Marx. 1844. On the Jewish Question. https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1844/jewish-question/〕 A connection believed to be so embedded that Rigakos has argued that "security ''is'' hegemony".〔〔Manolov, Martin V.

Rigakos ),” The Annual Review of Interdisciplinary Justice Research, vol. 3, pp. 9-26.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pacification theory」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
