War, Peace, And The Social OrderWar, Peace, and the Social Order is based on the premise that both war and peace are understandable patterns of human interaction, and that both are explicable using the knowledge of the social sciences. To this end, Brian E. Fogarty seeks to integrate the disciplines of peace studies and sociology, attempting to demystify both the puzzling violence of war and humanity's fond hope for peace. Fogarty also examines the paradox of the individual citizen's role in making both war and peace. War, Peace, and the Social Order is a useful resource for introductory and advanced courses in peace studies, and for scholars seeking an entry into peace studies literature. |
