VIOLENCE AND PEACE PROCESSES; INDEXThis book offers an important contribution to a better understanding of the specific and the general in wartime. It examines how people cope and adjust to situations of war, depending upon whether these are low-intensity or high-intensity ones, on whether they are brief phases of conflict or long enduring periods of violence, with or without intermittent spells of peace. Of particular interest is the exploration of a largely new dimension of social interaction - that of the internet, thus providing a bridge between local concerns and global networks.WarWarPsychological aspectsWar and societyMilitary art and scienceWar.WarPsychological aspects.War and society.Military art and science.355.02363.3498Rao Aparna649617Bollig Michael1146630Böck Monika1515402MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791367403321The practice of war3751088UNINA
