{"product_id":"9780761821984","title":"Systems of War and Peace (2ND)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWar and peace are as important as other institutions- science, politics, family, economy, religion, etc.- but rarely receive the same level of sociological attention. Systems of War and Peace covers this gap by presenting a coherent framework for understanding why and how wars start and end; what military organizations are, how they function, and where they came from; plus, how peace has been achieved in the past and how it can be achieved in the future. The balance of topics is intended to provide a sufficient basis for understanding the whole spectrum of violent social conflict and the reasons why some peace efforts have failed and others have succeeded. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second edition has been updated to include recent developments and new topics. Since the first edition in 1994, there have been no international wars, but there has been a host of rebellions, civil wars, interventions, and terrorist attacks. At the same time, some conflicts have abated and peacemaking attempts have been ongoing in many venues. A number of topics neglected in the first edition, such as sexuality in the military, have been added.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University Press of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45385642803279,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":3148.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/en\/products\/9780761821984","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
