Ouroboros

Understanding the War Machine of Liberalism

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book analyzes how the cost of 'small' wars drives the state to choose remote war and preemption in order to hide the conflict from its domestic populations. This is explained through understanding security mechanisms and how Clausewitzian war machine powers extend Liberalism into the periphery.
