Political Studies Review
“Münkler helpfully sets out three ways in which the
emergence of ‘new wars’ is framed by globalisation and
relates to the high-tech war ... In so doing, he clearly sets out
some of the global trends, and systematically demonstrates the
relationship between ‘new’ forms of warfare, Western
war, and the forces of globalisation.”
Australian Journal of Political Science
“A good overview of the ‘new wars’: mainly
intrastate wars that are characterized by the breakdown and failure
of the state.”
International Affairs
“The concept of new wars has been controversial, not least
because of the many features they share with old wars. Herfried
Münkler understands this, especially the comparison with wars
of the pre-modern era, and so is able to make more sense of the
concept than most. Not only is this book full of sharp analysis, it
also brings insights from contemporary German scholarship to the
notice of English language readers.”
Lawrence Freedman, King's College London
