"This book presents the origins of the term, how it shaped the conceptual framework for international development and security in the post-Cold War era, and why. The book also questions how specific international interventions on both aid and security fronts - greatly varied by actor - based on these outsiders' perceptions of state failure create conditions that fit their characterizations of failed states"--

The United States military doctrine, as proclaimed by the Department of Defense, is to attain "full-spectrum dominance...in the air, land, maritime and space domains, and information environment...without effective opposition or prohibitive interference." This is an agenda for global conquest―for an ever-expanding US empire. As America prepares for conflict with Russia and China, wars continue in the Middle East and North Africa, tens of millions are exiled from their homes while many others face famine.

Krieg im 21. Jahrhundert ist komplexer, volatiler, gesellschaftszentrierter und informationsintensiver. Die Kriegführung könnte man vereinfacht als unterschiedliche Kombinationen aus hochmodernen, traditionellen und asymmetrischen Komponenten beschreiben, die nach der postmodernen Devise "anything goes" einerseits durch die Verbindung militärischer und ziviler Mittel Krieg begrenzen will. Andererseits tendiert sie wegen unvermeidbarer Bumerangeffekte auch zur Entgrenzung. Neue Einsatzoptionen sollen das Risiko eigener Verluste minimieren und die Führbarkeit von Kriegen erleichtern. Zugleich werden asymmetrische Reaktionen provoziert und normative Grenzen verschoben.Dieses Buch will einen Beitrag dazu leisten, verschiedene Aspekte des Krieges und der Kriegführung im 21. Jahrhundert vorzustellen, einzuordnen und zu erklären, weil das Verständnis dafür Voraussetzung für die Wahrung oder Wiederherstellung des Friedens ist.Mit Beiträgen von:Michael Brzoska, Marcel Dickow, Hans-Georg Ehrhart, Miriam Förstle, Dirk Freudenberg, Stephan Hensell, Andreas Herberg-Rothe, Roland Kaestner, Martin Kahl, Bernhard Koch, Tobias von Lossow, Max Mutscheler, Klaus Schlichte, Johann Schmid, Ulrich Schneckener, Key-young Son, Felix Wassermann
