Vlog 10. What are the implications for security analysis and policy?

What theoretical threads can be drawn from bringing capoeira to the study of security? Neoliberal security policy relies on claims of commonality that grew out of the Cold War.

Capoeira contests unjustified claims of commonality by its core mechanisms of keeping inequality problematic, mobilising in structural violence, and maintaining the possibility of other outcomes.
