Terror and consent the wars for the twenty-first century [WorldCat Entities]

"Bobbitt has been a senior foreign policy and security adviser in both Republican and Democrat administrations and is the originator of the intriguing concept of the 'market state'. In this book he turns his attention to the subject of the 'war against an abstraction'."@en
"A study of the new face of modern-day warfare integrates historical, legal, and strategic analyses to look at the concept of a "war on terror" from the perspective of governance, liberty, violence, and globalization, while examining its impact on public policy."
"Philip Bobbitt follows his magisterial Shield of Achilles with an equally provocative analysis of the West's struggle against terror. Boldly stating that the primary driver of terrorism is not Islam but the emergence of market states (like the U.S. and the E.U.), Bobbitt warns of an era where weapons of mass destruction will be commodified and the wealthiest societies even more vulnerable to destabilizing, demoralizing terror. Unflinching in his analysis, Bobbitt addresses the deepest themes of history, law and strategy. From the Trade Paperback edition."
