“The New Western Way of War is about new ways of
interpreting war. By engaging innovative concepts like
“global surveillance” or “risk-transfer”,
Martin Shaw offers us an intriguing glimpse of a world beyond
war.”
Mary Kaldor, London School of Economics and Political
Science
“Roll over Clausewitz: in the global war on terror,
politics has become a continuation of war by other means, including
global surveillance, disinformation, unlawful detention, abrogation
of civil liberties, faith-based violence, pervasive fear,
accidental killing, and the transfer of risk to an increasingly
vulnerable citizenry. Martin Shaw targets this new western way of
war with the kind of discriminate intelligence and discrete passion
that makes all the smart bombs and latter-day Slim Pickens riding
them look very dumb indeed.”
James Der Derian, Brown University
