ABSTRACT
The core conceptual foundation of NCW, therefore, arises from the idea that if the very conditions of possibility are enmeshed within networks, then war may be understood as being a phenomenon whose possibility, in terms of its emergence and conduct, is immanent within this mesh of networks. To understand this as being a material manifestation of the limitation of war would be an error. Contrarily, war within such a framework displays a pervasiveness which is global and local. In other words, the mesh of networks not only facilitates the conduct of war, but it also ensures that the potentiality of the emergence of war is always at the threshold of actualization.
