This book interrogates the philosophical backdrop of
Clausewitzian notions of war, and asks whether modern,
network-centric militaries can still be said to serve the
'political'.
In light of the emerging theories and doctrines of
Network-Centric War (NCW), this book traces the philosophical
backdrop against which the more common theorizations of war and its
conduct take place. Tracing the historical and philosophical roots
of modern war from the 17th Century through to the present day,
this book reveals that far from paralyzing the project of
re-problematisating war, the emergence of NCW affords us an
opportunity to rethink war in new and philosophically challenging
ways.
This book will be of much interest to students of critical
security studies, social theory, war studies and political
theory/IR.
