Why Humans Fight

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Maleševic offers a novel sociological answer to the age-old question: 'Why do humans fight?'. Instead of focusing on the motivations of individuals, this book emphasises the centrality of the social contexts that make fighting possible. It will appeal to students and scholars of war, violent crime, and inter-personal violence.
