Militarization and War

Explore the intricate dynamics of military regimes in Julian Schofield's insightful book, Militarization and War, published by Palgrave USA in 2007. Spanning 236 pages, this compelling work delves into seven pivotal case studies, including Pakistan in 1965, India in 1971, Israel during the 1956 and 1967 conflicts, Egypt in 1973, Iran in 1969, and Iraq in 1980. Schofield argues that these nations, governed by military leadership, engage in warfare not out of a desire for conflict, but due to their inability to effectively handle diplomatic relations. This book is essential for anyone interested in civil-military relations, international politics, and the historical context of military governance. Perfect for students and scholars alike, Militarization and War offers a thought-provoking examination of the intersection between military power and international relations.
