War and Power in the Twenty-First Century: The State, Military Power and the International System - by Paul Hirst

Paul Hirst’s "War and Power in the Twenty-First Century" examines the evolving nature of war, power, and the state in the modern era. Hirst critiques traditional views of state sovereignty and military power, exploring the impact of globalization, the changing role of the military, and the increasingly complex nature of conflict. He argues that war in the 21st century is shaped by a combination of technological advancements, economic interdependence, and the rise of non-state actors.
