Description

The proliferation of 'new wars' since the end of the Cold War has forced scholars to re-open the debate about 'what is war?' For most commentators, 'new war' is mindless mass action. This book takes a different approach, reflecting on a paradoxical assumption that to understand war, we must deny it a special status.
