This interplay between warfare, military technology, and state formation is the focus of this text. Theoretically grounded in the bellicist approach to the study of war and state, which posits that war is a normal part of human experience, the book argues that the threat of war by powerful, predatory neighbors has been, until relatively recently, the prime mover of state formation. Using a historical approach, it explains how advances in military technology have transformed war, and how new modes of war in turn have transformed forms of politico-military rule, especially with regard to the relationship between the state, armed force, and the people. -- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 State, The |xOrigin. |=^A237401 650 0 State, The |xHistory. |=^A61063 650 0 Sociology, Military. |=^A41538 650 7 Sociology, Military. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01123942 650 7 State, The. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01131943 650 7 State, The |xOrigin. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01131948 650 7 89.31 state (political science) |0(NL-LeOCL)077608860 |2nbc 650 7 89.76 polemology. |0(NL-LeOCL)077609166 |2nbc 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iOnline version:Opello, Walter C. |tWar, armed force, and the people |dLanham : Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2016 |z9781442268814 |w(DLC) 2016033946 949 |i30372016643972 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s38.00 |tJoyner48 |uJPOS |zUSD 596 1 998 4742681
