| Abstract
|
:
|
"This book provides an invaluable perspective on the causes of war, drawing on a thoughtful consideration of what war actually is, the key foundation for an analysis of its causes. Jeremy Black also considers recent and current wars as well as likely future conflicts. He analyzes the three main types of war--between cultures, within cultures, and civil--emphasizing the social and cultural factors leading to conflict. He assesses the predisposition of ideologies to think and act in terms of conflict, the functional dynamics of international relations systems, and the strengths and failings of diplomacy. As an interdisciplinary study, the book draws on research from history, political science, and international relations and marshals global examples spanning the fifteenth century to the present"--
