About the Book

From May 2nd -5th 2007, Budapest played host to an international inter- and multidisciplinary conference which should lead its participants into long and heated debates and which should become a forum for innovative and enlightening new research into the nature, purpose and experience of war and its impacts on human kind. Participants of the Fourth Global Conference on War, Virtual War and Human Security came from such diverse fields as military history, legal studies, philosophy, literature and film studies, sociology, and these different backgrounds proved vital for the passionate discussions and the interdisciplinary influences participants received and spread during the conference. This volume aims at providing an overview of themes discussed and papers given at the conference. The papers collected here examine and evaluate war as a multi-layered phenomenon, approaching the historical, legal, social, human, linguistic, economic and political contexts of conflicts, exploring the representation and interpretation of the experience of warfare in art, journalism, literature and multimedia and proposing strategies for alternatives.
