{"product_id":"causes-of-war-thomas-lindemann-9781907301018","title":"Causes of War: The Struggle for Recognition","description":"Theories on the origins of war are often based on the premise that the rational actor is in pursuit of material satisfaction, such as the quest for power or for wealth. These perspectives disregard the need for homo symbolicus - the preservation of a positive self-image for both emotional and instrumental reasons. A good reputation ensures authority and material resources. Non-recognition can be as much as an explanation of war as that of other explicative 'variables'. Two empirical studies examining the role of non-recognition in great power conflicts and in international crises will demonstrate the value of this symbolic approach.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Lindemann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1907301011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781907301018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ECPR Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.38d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2011 pg. 133","brand":"Thomas Lindemann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46906966999295,"sku":"9781907301018","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f54b7ee5-49ae-4bcf-8079-b7dc5f595604.jpg?v=1748771914","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/causes-of-war-thomas-lindemann-9781907301018","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
