- W2221107776 abstract "[Extract] This section addresses the overall conceptual frameworks that have informed Western thinking about warfare and explores how these frameworks haveimpacted on anthropological and archaeological research into war and violence. One of the central questions, of course, concerns the origin of war: has it always existed, if not in reality then as a potential of human nature, or is it a product of the development of human society? It is clear that in order to ask and answer such a question we must first agree on what to regard as warfare. Even thoughthere is widespread agreement that warfare can and should be distinguished from phenomena such as homicide and feuding, authors, also in this section, disagree about the nature of the political units that can wage wars. DavidWarburton argues that only states make wars and he thus places himself in a long tradition of Western thought that sees statehood and warfare as intrinsically connected.One should be aware, however, that this tradition of thought arises in a period of Western history when states were the common form of organising polities - and thus wars. The disciplines of archaeology and anthropology, alsoproducts of Western history, extend the empirical horizon to societies without centralising authorities and this makes it necessary to consider whether the violent interactions in which these societies engage should also be called war.In this introduction, Otterbein's definition is used as a guideline; war is a planned and organised armed dispute between political units (Otterbein 1985: 3). In this definition these units do not necessarily have the character of states (cp. also Ferguson 1984: 5), thus extending the phenomenon of warfare to a large range of societies. The idea that warfare has evolved in relation to the transformation of human societies has strongly influenced anthropological and archaeological research, but before I develop this central assumption further Iwant to highlight another central idea that has impacted on Western thinking (and acting) up to the present day: that of the morally justified war." @default.
