Today’s warfare has moved away from being an event between massed national populations and toward small numbers of combatants using high-tech weaponry. The editors of and contributors to the timely collection <i>Transformations of Warfare in the Contemporary World </i>show that this shift reflects changes in the technological, strategic, ideological, and ethical realms.<br>
<p>The essays in this volume discuss
<br />·	the waning connection between citizenship and soldiering;
<br />·	the shift toward more reconstructive than destructive activities by militaries;
<br />·	the ethics of irregular or asymmetrical warfare;
<br />·	the role of novel techniques of identification in military settings;
<br />·	the stress on precision associated with targeted killings and kidnappings;
<br />·	the uses of the social sciences in contemporary warfare. <br>
<p>In his concluding remarks, David Jacobson explores the extent to which the contemporary transformation of warfare is a product of a shift in the character of the combatants themselves.
