Late modern wars are legitimized through invocations of humanity; variously the rescue and protection of populations, the re-shaping of entire societies, and the re-constitution of the sphere of the international into a pacified cosmopolitan arena. Drawing on critical social and political thought, the book explores the implications, arguing that these same wars, often referred to as 'liberal', may be interpreted as perpetuating forms of exclusion and domination that render war a tool of control now articulated in global terms.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"...provides a discerning exploration of the place, role and import of the phenomenon of war in the transformations of global life." -- Emilian Kavalski, Political Studies Review
"A complex read, this pulls together a provocative synthesis relevant to literatures in peace and justice studies, globalization, international relations theory, imperialism, and postcolonialism, while providing a compelling analytic framework for current international affairs... Recommended." —CHOICE
