On the other hand, it is responsible for some of the strongest human bonds and has been the genesis of many of our most fundamental institutions. War and Society addresses these paradoxes while providing a sociological exploration of this enigmatic phenomenon which has played a central role in human history, wielded an incredible power over human lives, and commanded intellectual questioning for countless generations. The authors offer an analytical account of the origins of war, its historical development, and its consequences for individuals and societies, adopting a comparative approach throughout. It ends with an appraisal of the contemporary role of war, looking to the future of warfare and the fundamental changes in the nature of violent conflict which we are starting to witness.This short, readable and engaging book will be an ideal reading for upper-level students of political sociology, military sociology, and related subjects."--EBSCOhost website. 410 0$aPolitical sociology series. 606 $aWar and society 606 $aWar$xCauses 615 0$aWar and society. 615 0$aWar$xCauses. 676 $a303.6/6 686 $aPOL034000$2bisacsh 700 $aCenteno$b Miguel Angel$f1957-$01126170 702 $aEnriquez$b Elaine 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910156233703321 996 $aWar & society$92657496 997 $aUNINA
