This highly original book redresses the balance and, for the first time, looks at how much an agent can destroy. Destructive power is conceptualised in a unique way, covering all types of deliberate (violent and non-violent) social conflict behaviour. The theoretical arguments in the book are skilfully linked to burning political issues of our time such as the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the Second Gulf WarSummary: 1. Three types of power -- 2. The meaning of destructive power -- 3. The social nature of destructive power -- 4. The value of destructive power -- 5. Sources of destructive powerPPN: PPN: 1023445972Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-1-EWE
