Bøger af Mary (London School of Economics and Political Science) Kaldor

This book provides an introduction to international law as it relates to the use of force and to competing approaches of security that can be identified in the context of 'new wars'. It examines topics including weapons, human rights, gender and peacekeeping, using case studies from a number of recent conflicts.

The terms 'global' and 'civil society' have both become part of the contemporary political lexicon. In this important new book, Mary Kaldor argues that this is no coincidence and that the reinvention of civil society has to be understood in the context of globalization.

Mary Kaldor's New and Old Wars has fundamentally changed the way both scholars and policy-makers understand contemporary war and conflict.
