This interdisciplinary volume examines how movement between the margins and mainstream of warfare is impacting contemporary conflict. Actors, battlefields, and practices traditionally considered within the margins of war - such as propagandists, and private companies - have increasingly found themselves at the centre of conflicts, while traditional practices, actors, and locations of war - such as geographically bounded battlefields and uniform clad soldiers engaging their enemy in direct battle - have become increasingly marginalized. Anchored in the war studies tradition with its prudent, multidisciplinary approach, this volume offers a fresh conceptual frame for an overdue investigation into how the changing practices in contemporary wars permit us to reevaluate our understandings of fighters and battlefields.
