Excellent- More about Causes of War: Volume II: 1000 CE to 1400 CE
A renowned international lawyer has written a five-volume series on the causes of war, using documentary history of international law as its primary source. The series aims to provide a different taxonomy of the causes of war, focusing on politics, religion, migrations, and empire-building, which were dominant and often overlapping justifications during the first four thousand years of human civilization.

This is the second volume of a projected five-volume series, written by a leading international lawyer, that aims to chart the causes of war from 3000 BCE to the present day. The book utilizes the documentary history of international law, primarily in the form of treaties and the negotiations that preceded them, as its primary source material. The series seeks to answer the question of why millions of people have engaged in warfare over thousands of years, departing from the various theories put forward by historians, anthropologists, and psychologists.
In this second volume, Gillespie presents a unique taxonomy of the causes of war, focusing on the broader contexts of politics, religion, migrations, and empire-building. These four contexts were dominant and often overlapping justifications during the first four thousand years of human civilisation, for which written records exist.
Gillespie argues that these four contexts have shaped the patterns of conflict and cooperation throughout history and continue to do so today. He explores how political ideologies, religious beliefs, migration patterns, and the pursuit of empire have contributed to the outbreak and resolution of wars. The book also examines the role of international law in regulating and mitigating the causes of war, highlighting the successes and failures of international institutions and agreements.
Through its comprehensive analysis, The Causes of War offers a valuable perspective on the complex and multifaceted factors that have driven human conflict throughout history. It is a must-read for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the origins and dynamics of war.
