Books & Films. This updated and revised through 2000 edition of
an immensely successful textbook reflects upheavals in the global
geopolitical climate, and examines why countries continue to build
war arsenals in a time of relative peace. As an increasing number
of countries gain nuclear capabilities and the number of
intranational and regional conflicts grow, it becomes apparent that
the end of the Cold War did not bring an end to the threat of war.
The book is broken into four parts. Part One: Introduction to the
War Problem discusses the nature of the war problem, the conceptual
framework, and the historical framework. Part Two: Causes of War
talks about the cause of war, group competition and group
identification, other views about causes of war, and the value of
war. In Part Three: The Contemporary Situation, the reader will
learn about ideological aspects, national-historical aspects,
military aspects, institutional aspects, and legal aspects of the
contemporary situation. Part Four: Proposals for Solving the War
Problem discusses reforming the attitudes of individuals, reforming
the internal operation of national governments, reforming the
policies of national governments, and reformingthe international
system. It also includes maps, illustrations and charts which will
be especially helpful to the reader.
