Conflict and Defense: A General Theory is a book written by Kenneth Ewart Boulding, which explores the nature of conflict and defense in societies. The book presents a comprehensive analysis of the factors that contribute to the occurrence of conflicts, and how societies can defend themselves against them. The book begins by examining the different types of conflicts that exist, such as physical, psychological, and social conflicts, and how they are interrelated. It then goes on to explore the different levels of conflict, from interpersonal conflicts to international conflicts, and the various strategies that societies use to defend themselves against them. Boulding argues that there are four basic strategies of defense: deterrence, compellence, defense, and disarmament. He also discusses the role of power, justice, and morality in conflict resolution, and how these factors can be used to promote peace and stability in societies. The book provides a theoretical framework for understanding conflict and defense, and it draws on a wide range of disciplines, including political science, sociology, psychology, and economics. It is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both students and scholars in these fields. Overall, Conflict and Defense: A General Theory is a seminal work in the study of conflict and defense, and it remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of conflict and how societies can defend themselves against it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
