Recenzii
'Rich and diverse in terms of sources and perspectives, these assembled essays combine international relations theory with history. Addressing some of the great puzzles of statecraft, such as the origin of World War I, these essays will find a valued place in the classroom.' Charles F. Doran, Johns Hopkins SAIS, USA '... a weighty tome that takes an interdisciplinary [...] approach to the study of war... Recommended.' Choice 'This broad-ranging, interdisciplinary and transatlantic conversation looks at war from new angles, focusing on the multilayered deep structures and systems underlying surface events. From Azar Gat's brilliant overview of human warfare to the causes of World War I and the rise of China, this thought-provoking collection views a familiar landscape of themes and events from new perspectives.' Joshua S. Goldstein, American University, USA (emeritus) 'The essays in this volume cover an admirable range of topics, including the evolution of modern warfare, the role of gender in conflict, the role of the state and Anarchist critiques of warfare, cyber-conflict, child soldiers, and the future of asymmetric conflict. Many of these essays are useful summaries of the literature and would be a valuable resource for students beginning to work in those areas... the volume takes an important step forward by translating the writings of some key French thinkers on war, such as Jean-Paul Charnay, while bringing the insights of others to the attention of English-speaking audiences... If one wishes to adopt or even learn more about the polemological approach, these essays are fascinating.' Perspectives on Terrorism 'As befits the title ’research companion’, this volume of collected works on the topic of war by Professors Hall Gardner and Oleg Kobtzeff of the American University of Paris provides a detailed exposition of the causes of war through the theoretical lens of ’polemology’. Those embarking on the journey through this book will find a number of
