Many different social scientists have been challenged by the
origins of wars, their immediate causes and the mechanisms leading
to the breakdown of peaceful relations. Many have speculated
whether conflicts were avoidable and whether alternative policies
might have prevented conflict. The Ashgate Research Companion to
War provides contributions from a number of theorists and
historians with a focus on long term, systemic conflicts. The
problematique is introduced by the Editors highlighting the need
for interdisciplinary approaches to the study of war as a global
phenomenon. The following 29 essays provide a comprehensive study
guide in four sections: Part I explicates differing theories as to
the origins of war under the general concept of 'polemology'. Part
II analyzes significant conflicts from the Peloponnesian wars to
World War II. Part III examines the ramifications of Cold War and
post-Cold War conflict. Part IV looks at long cycles of systemic
conflict, and speculates, in part, whether another global war is
theoretically possible, and if so, whether it can be averted. This
comprehensive volume brings us a much needed analysis of wars
throughout the ages, their origins, their consequences, and their
relationship to the present. A valuable understanding that is ideal
for social scientists from a variety of backgrounds.
