Description
This interdisciplinary volume examines how movement between the margins and mainstream of warfare is impacting contemporary conflict. Actors, battlefields, and practices traditionally considered within the margins of war such as propagandists, and private companies have increasingly found themselves at the centre of conflicts, while traditional practices, actors, and locations of war such as geographically bounded battlefields and uniform clad soldiers engaging their enemy in direct battle have become increasingly marginalized. Anchored in the war studies tradition with its prudent, multidisciplinary approach, this volume offers a fresh conceptual frame for an overdue investigation into how the changing practices in contemporary wars permit us to reevaluate our understandings of fighters and battlefields.
