A valuable understanding that is ideal for social scientists from a variety of backgrounds. 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. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 War |xCauses. 650 0 War |xPrevention. 650 0 War |xHistory. 650 0 International relations |xHistory. 700 1 Kobtzeff, Oleg. 830 0 Ashgate research companion. 852 0 |bstacks |hJZ6385 |i.G35 2012
