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 efforts 650 0 Conflict management|zAfghanistan 650 0 Conflict management|zLebanon 650 0 Social networks|zAfghanistan 650 0 Social networks|zLebanon 650 0 Violence|zAfghanistan 650 0 Violence|zLebanon 650 14 Political Science and International Relations 650 24 Conflict Studies 650 24 Peace Studies 650 24 Political Theory 650 24 Middle Eastern Politics 650 24 Political Sociology 710 2 SpringerLink (Online service) 773 0 |tSpringer eBooks 856 40 |uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-41393-8 912 Springer|b110608094615
