War proved a seminal influence on the shape of the 20th century.
This collection provides various essays addressing the phenomenon
of war as viewed through the eyes of the fin de siecle. Leading
scholars of war, international relations, and international law
offer general or specific insights into war's consequences during
the last one hundred years. Combined, the essays demonstrate the
centrality of 20th century war to the development of the modern
state system, international jurisprudence, and contemporary
society. Donald Watt provides an overview of the use of the term
war in its legal and practical sense. John Lynn addresses the
transformation of military professional forces through the century.
Donna Arzt explores the slow convergence of humanitarian law with
human rights laws as witnessed in the latter half of the century.
The contours of the national security state that emerged in many
forms through the late century are detailed in contributions by
Lawrence Aronsen, Geoffrey Smith, and Gary Hess. Finally, efforts
to avert war through arms control, disarmament, arms reduction, and
peace-keeping are examined in essays by Norman Hillmer and Erik
Goldstein.
