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. 606 $aWar on Terrorism, 2001-2009 606 $aWar$xPsychological aspects 606 $aWar and society 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWar on Terrorism, 2001-2009. 615 0$aWar$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aWar and society. 676 $a355.02/75 700 $aKeen$b David$f1958-$0984187 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455336403321 996 $aEndless war$92247771 997 $aUNINA
