Enemies Within: The Global Politics of Fifth Columns Mylonas Harris
The invocation of fifth columns in the political arena -- whether contrived or based on real fears -- has recurred periodically throughout history and is experiencing an upsurge in our era of democratic erosion and geopolitical uncertainty. They can cause human rights abuses, political repression, and even ethnic cleansing. Fifth columns accusations can have baleful effects on governance and trust, as they call into question the loyalty and belonging of the targeted populations.
In this volume, a multidisciplinary group of leading scholars address several related questions: When are actors likely to employ fifth-column claims and against whom? Enemies Within is the first book to systematically investigate the roots and implications of the politics of fifth columns. What accounts for changes in fifth-column framing over time?
