520 This book offers a novel approach to understanding
violence and violent conflict using complexity and network
theories, borrowed from the natural sciences, together
with social network analysis. Because violence is both a
universal and central component of human communication and
identity formation, it has a fundamental function in
shaping social behavior. Using Manuel Castells' work on
the programming of social networks, this book explores the
Lebanese Civil War and the ongoing war in Afghanistan
under the perspective of violence within networks. The
approach presents a unique and compelling argument that
counters the long-held assumption that war is caused by
specific events, or is the unavoidable culmination of
existing conditions or grievances. Rather, this book
argues that violence emerges when the structure of social
networks becomes too rigid and hierarchic to adapt to
stresses and challenges that materialize on a constant
basis from both within and without the network. This is
important not only for the study of war, but as a method
of improving the success of contemporary peace building
