 ct: Did war make states in Latin America? My book "Bringing War Back In:
  Victory\, Defeat\, and the State in Nineteenth-Century Latin America" (
 https://doi.org/10.1017/9781009442145)\, demonstrates that international
  wars in nineteenth-century Latin America triggered state-building\, tha
 t the outcomes of those wars affected the legitimacy and continuity of s
 uch efforts\, and that the relative capacity of states in this region to
 day continues to reflect those distant processes. Combining comparative 
 historical analysis with cutting edge social science methods\, the book 
 provides a comprehensive picture of state formation in nineteenth-centur
 y Latin America that is compelling for readers across disciplines\, brea
 thes new life into bellicist approaches to state formation\, and offers 
 a novel framework to explain variation in state capacity across Latin Am
 erica and the world. \n\nLuis Schenoni is Associate Professor and Direct
 or of the Security Studies Programme at the Department of Political Scie
 nce\, University College London.
