{"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":42729257664587,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":3207.01,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/0023\/7387\/files\/9780761821984-1.jpg?v=1783355486","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.co.th\/products\/9780761821984","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Thailand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
