Abstract:
This handbook will examine the context of war from the scholarly discipline's key theoretical perspectives and analyse the contemporary conduct of war at strategic, military, civilian, and organisational levels. In addition to examining the role war plays in the shifting and shaping of global norms, values, and structures, it will assess the machinery behind the war, in particular the defence and technological base of war as well as the mechanisms necessary to successfully govern victory and defeat. In addition to the classical Western approach the volume will incorporate perspectives from around the globe
