Description

Explore the complex relationship between politics and strategy in modern conflict with Clausewitz and African War. This academic study examines the shifting nature of warfare in Liberia and Somalia, challenging traditional military theories. While many analysts focus on economic drivers like oil, diamonds, and timber, or ethnic and clan considerations, this book looks deeper into the structural causes of war. Traditional theories based on Carl von Clausewitz suggest that states fight wars for political interests using conventional military means. However, recent decades have shown a different reality in Africa. This work investigates how alternative social organizations act as political actors, utilizing war as a strategic instrument outside of state control. It provides a necessary perspective for students and professionals interested in military history and the evolution of political warfare in non-state environments.
