Or was it a strategic move to maintain US dominance globally? Endless War? casts a critical light on the real motives behind war and conflict. David Keen explores how winning war is rarely an end in itself; rather, war tends to be part of a wider political and economic game that is consistent with strengthening the enemy. Keen devises a radical framework for analysing an unending war project, where the "war on terror"; is an extension of the Cold War.The book draws on the author's detailed study of wars in Sudan, Sierra Leone, as well as in a range of other conflicts. It provides a new approach to conflict analysis that will be of use to students across development studies and the social sciences.War on Terrorism, 2001-2009WarPsychological aspectsWar and societyElectronic books.War on Terrorism, 2001-2009.WarPsychological aspects.War and society.355.02/75Keen David1958-984187MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455336403321Endless war2247771UNINA
