This book explores the issue of civilian devastation in modern
warfare, focusing on the complex processes that effectively
establish civilians' identity in times of war. Underpinning the
physicality of war's tumult are structural forces that create
landscapes of civilian vulnerability. Such forces operate in four
sectors of modern warfare: nationalistic ideology, state-sponsored
militaries, global media, and international institutions. Each
sector promotes its own constructions of civilian identity in
relation to militant combatants: constructions that prove lethal to
the civilian noncombatant who lacks political power and
decision-making capacity with regards to their own survival.
Civilians and Modern War provides a critical overview of the plight
of civilians in war, examining the political and normative
underpinnings of the decisions, actions, policies, and practices of
major sectors of war. The contributors seek to undermine the
'tunnelling effect' of the militaristic framework regarding the
experiences of noncombatants. This book will be of much interest to
students of war and conflict studies, ethics, conflict resolution,
and IR/Security Studies.
