ABSTRACT

The primary objective of the project reported in this volume is to discover or invent architecture that can enhance efforts to deal effectively with the complexities of the postmodern world, including genocidal ethnic conflicts such as those that plagued Southeastern Europe (the Balkans) during the 1990s (the new warfare) and incidents of “catastrophic terrorism” (Hamburg, 2002), such as the events of 9/11 (the new terrorism), which may be conceptually and/or epiphenomenally linked to the “new warfare.”
