RECONCEPTUALIZING WAR

1-248940

Attempts what no previous book on war has done, in that each war theory remains grounded in one dominant war paradigm -- all war paradigms are explained, contrasted, and overlapped. Presents an entirely disruptive and groundbreaking way to make sense of conflict at a meta-theoretical level. Blending philosophy and sociology, provides a challenging synthesis of multiple war paradigms, from technological, Westphalian frames of Western industrialized societies to those under Marxist versions, and radical ideological movements and sects. Contains 36 black and white illustrations.
