520 Rarely do academics and policymakers have the opportunity
to sit down together and contemplate the broadest
consequences of war. Our comprehension has traditionally
been limited to war's causes, execution, promotion,
opposition, and immediate political and economic ends and
aftermath. But just as public health researchers are
becoming aware of unexpected, subtle and powerful
consequences of human economic action, we are beginning to
realize that war has many short- and long-term
consequences that we poorly understand but cannot afford
to neglect. These papers contribute to a growing discourse
among academics, scholars and lawmakers that is
questioning and rethinking the nature and purpose of war.
By studying the effects of war on communities we can more
readily understand and anticipate the consequences of
present and future conflicts. Such an understanding might
well enable us to plan and execute military action with a
more clearly defined set of post-war goals in mind.
Whereas traditionally a government at war seeks the defeat
of the adversary as its primary and often sole aim,
through a clearer understanding of war's effects other
aims will also become prominent. War, like surgery, could
gradually become more refined, could minimize damage in
ways that are currently unimaginable, and could involve an
increasingly heavy responsibility to prepare for and
facilitate reconstruction. Projects such as this volume
are, of course, only the beginning. The more we understand
the evolving nature of war, the better prepared we will be
to protect communities from its harmful effects
