This book offers a fresh perspective on a distressing consequence of conflict. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRos駭 explains how collateral damage is linked to ideas of authority, thereby anchoring it to the existential riddles of our individual and collective lives, and that this peculiar form of death constitutes an image of what it means to be human. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHis investigation of collateral damage is notable too for how the death of non-combatants sheds light on some of today's critical challenges to war and global governance, such as the growing role of non-state actors, mercenary contractors and the impact of military privatization. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the ethical realm those who successfully prove that collateral damage has occurred also enter the debate about which institutions may exert authority and thus how a truly decentralized world might be organized. This is why the in many ways underrepresented victims of collateral damage appear on closer inspection to have experienced a most significant form of death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frederik Rosen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1849044074\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781849044073\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hurst \u0026amp; Co.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.70w x 0.80d","brand":"Frederik Rosen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44522578379007,"sku":"9781849044073","price":32.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0bc2c065-e0cc-4cd6-bd1d-3ab08b58af3f.jpg?v=1700157984","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/collateral-damage-frederik-rosen-9781849044073","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
