| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Still preoccupied with inter- and intrastate wars, IR [International Relations] wants to know why wars happen and how they end. It is the period between these two moments that IR war studies has not concerned itself or seriously engaged with. (Parashar 2013, 617, this special section)
This is one of the important points that Swati Parashar makes in her contribution to the discussion here on critical war studies. She offers a number of examples of life 'between these two moments' and life as it is when war in Sri Lanka is said to be over (but is not, in all aspects). She also insists, as another important and underexplored second point, that IR (thinks it) knows war but does not consider the possibility that war knows something about international relations and IR. Is it preposterous that war could know more about those bits of itself blanked out of IR than the master field knows? |
