Have globalization, virulent ethnic differences, and globally
operating insurgents fundamentally changed the nature of war in the
last decade?
Interpretations of war as driven by politics and state
rationale, formulated most importantly by the 19th century
practitioner Carl von Clausewitz, have received strong criticism.
Political explanations have been said to fall short in explaining
conflicts in the Balkans, Africa, Asia and the attacks of 11
September 2001 in the United States.
This book re-evaluates these criticisms not only by scrutinising
Clausewitz's arguments and their applicability, but also by a
careful reading of the criticism itself. In doing so, it presents
empirical evidence on the basis of several case studies, addressing
various aspects of modern war, such as the actors, conduct and
purposes of war.
