In an effort to make sense of war beyond the battlefield in
studying the wars that were captured under the rubric of the "War
on Terror", this special issue book seeks to explore the complex
spatial relationships between war and the spaces that one is not
used to thinking of as the battlefield. It focuses on the conflicts
that still animate the spaces and places where violence has been
launched and that the war has not left untouched. In focusing on
war beyond the battlefield, it is not that the battlefield as the
place where war is waged has gone in smoke or has borne out of
importance, it is rather the case that the battlefield has been
dis-placed, re-designed, re-shaped and rethought through new
spatializing practices of warfare. These new spaces of war - new in
the sense that they are not traditionally thought of as spaces
where war takes place or is brought to - are television screens,
cellular phones and bandwidth, George W. Bush's ranch in Crawford,
Texas, videogames, popular culture sites, news media, blogs, and so
on. These spaces of war beyond the battlefield are crucial to
understanding what goes on the battlefield, in Iraq, Afghanistan,
or in other fronts of the War on Terror (such as the homeland) - to
understand how terror has globally been waged beyond the
battlefield. This book was originally published as a special issue
of Geopolitics.
