The War system an interdisciplinary approach Falk, Richard A. (Richard Anderson) 1930- editor Kim, Samuel S. 1935- editor text bibliography cou Boulder, Colo Westview Press 1980 monographic eng xvi, 659 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm This book examines war as part of a broader β€œwar system”—a set of political, economic, and social structures that make armed conflict recurring in international relations. Instead of seeing wars as isolated events, the contributors argue that: War is built into the global system (state competition, power struggles, militarization). Political ideologies, economic interests, and security fears reinforce conflict. Lasting peace requires systemic change, not just conflict resolution. The book combines perspectives from political science, law, sociology, and history to explain both the causes of war and possible alternatives, such as stronger international institutions and global cooperation.
