Walter C. Opello

War, Armed Force, and the People

State Formation and Transformation in Historical Perspective

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The interplay between warfare, military technology, and state formation is the focus of this text. Theoretically grounded in the bellicist approach to the study of war and state, which posits that war is a normal part of human experience, the book argues that the threat of war by predatory neighbors has been the prime mover of state formation.
