Reviews

"New and Old Wars stands as the first port of call for those who think that most of the world's wars do not correspond to the strategic logics identified by Western theorists." Australian Journal of Political Science "If you don't read Mary Kaldor's New and Old Wars you won't understand the world of violence we live in. And you will miss the only way out: the perspective of a cosmopolitan realpolitik that Kaldor opens up and paints in detail in her highly sophisticated and original analysis. It is the classical book on new wars." Ulrich Beck, University of Munich "More than any other book, Mary Kaldor's brilliantly sustained enquiry into "new wars" helps us grasp the complex terrain of political violence since the end of the Cold War. The richness and clarity of the overall presentation greatly strengthens Kaldor's stature as one of the most consistently imaginative and conceptually creative thinkers of our time on the central issues of global affairs." Richard Falk, Princeton University "A timely and important book. Putting the so-called revolution in military affairs firmly to one side, Mary Kaldor has provided us with a window into the future of war." Martin van Creveld, Hebrew University of Jerusalem
