In the context of globalization, this path-breaking book has shown that what we think of as war is becoming an anachronism. In its place is a new type of organized violence or 'new wars'--a mixture of war, organized crime, and massive violations of human rights.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis new edition has been fully revised and updated, and includes an afterword answering the critics of the New Wars argument. A new chapter shows how old war thinking in Afghanistan and Iraq greatly exacerbated what turned out to be, in many ways, archetypal new wars--characterized by identity politics, a criminalized war economy, and civilians as the main victims. The third edition of \u003ci\u003eNew and Old Wars\u003c\/i\u003e will be essential reading for students of international relations, politics, and conflict studies, as well as to all those interested in the changing nature and prospect of warfare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Kaldor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080478549X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804785495\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Mary Kaldor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994005373183,"sku":"9780804785495","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_008a4d34-ce30-4c20-8678-c927d03a7d86.jpg?v=1683327564","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/new-old-wars-mary-kaldor-9780804785495","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
