Instead of focusing on the motivations of solitary individuals MalesÌevicÌ emphasises the centrality of social and historical contexts that make fighting possible. He argues that fighting is not an individual attribute, but a social phenomenon shaped by one's relationships with other people. Drawing on the recent scholarship across variety of academic disciplines and his own interviews with the former combatants MalesÌevicÌ shows that one's willingness to fight is a contextual phenomenon shaped by specific ideological and organisational logic. The book explores the role biology, psychology, economics, ideology, and coercion play in one's experience of fighting and emphasises the cultural and historical variability of combativeness. Using numerous historical and contemporary examples from all over the world MalesÌevicÌ demonstrates how social pugnacity is a relational and contextual phenomenon that possesses autonomous features"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Violence $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Interpersonal conflict. $0 https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85067483 776 08 $i Online version: $a MalesÌevicÌ, SinisÌa. $t Why humans fight $d [New York] : Cambridge University Press, [2022] $z 9781009162807 $w (DLC) 2021055057 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230302021210.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C0620422A39211ED924352D529ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
