Centre for War Studies, Birmingham

Description

The Centre brings together a wide range of scholars who have an interest in the study of war and conflict in all of its guises. Warfare, by its very nature, is an all-embracing subject and the approach encouraged within the Centre is therefore truly interdisciplinary with members of staff from the School of History and Cultures working closely with their colleagues in other departments.

The Centre’s three main areas of investigation are Combat, Mobilisation and Legacies are placed under the following strapline: Global warfare from the Middle Ages to the Contemporary period.

The Centre's work is based on an interdisciplinary reflection on the infliction of violence, on the legitimation of its use, on its impact on political as well as economic structures, and its cultural and social legacies. The Centre's approach is firmly rooted in historical methods, and defined by a sustained and critical engagement with a range of social sciences.
