Since the fall of Kabul and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the US-led liberal international order is giving way to a more chaotic and contested world system. Western credibility and deterrence are diminishing in the face of wars in Europe and the Middle East, tensions across the Taiwan Strait, and rising populism and terrorism around the world. Can peace, mutual respect and democracy survive, or are we destined to a permanent chaos in which authoritarians and populists thrive?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing decades of experience as policy advisors in conflicts in Iraq and across Africa, and on recent fieldwork in Israel and Taiwan, the authors analyse the nature of modern war, considering state-on-state and intra-state conflicts. They investigate how technology can be a leveller for small powers against larger aggressors and the role of leadership, diplomacy and economic assistance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Art of War and Peace\u003c\/i\u003e explores how wars can be won on the battlefield and how that success can be translated into a stable and enduring peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57126046859638,"sku":"9781785126895","price":9.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_41438895_f6e77f53-0c47-40c9-b278-f96a15e1248e.jpg?v=1779934755","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781785126895-art-of-war-and-peace-the-changing-face-of-21st-century-warfare","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
