This new book gives the reader a clear international view of
interdisciplinary and intradisciplinary approaches to military and
conflict-resolution studies.
It shows how inter- and intra-disciplinary approaches have become
the rule for research in the social sciences today and why this
tendency applies to military and conflict-resolution studies, too,
not only via the use of sociology, but to the social sciences in
general, and as an approach that looks at trends more than at
history, these new aspects and tendencies of the social sciences in
studying the military universe.
Since the end of the Cold War, military operations other than war,
crisis-response operations, the fight against terrorism, and
hi-tech warfare have posed for the militaries of all countries a
new set of human and social challenges and problems of an intensity
never before seen in peacetime. Sociology, social psychology,
anthropology and the science of conflict are grappling with these
issues, common to the armed forces of all countries, with a new
fervor. This new book offers an update on the state-of-the-art on
this theme and as an indicator of the new study trends in the
field.
Containing essays by some of the most highly regarded scholars on
the subject, this is essential reading for all students of
civil-military relations, conflict resolution and military studies
in general.
