ABSTRACT:
To understand modern war, Brown investigates the nature of social groupings and finds that, in the modern world, those of nations have become dominant. All of us are participating in a race, a nation, a social class, and usually in a religious group. The respective importance of these groups is changing. In the present world, the national differentiation is more decisive than the religious one. In conflicts between nations, there is a tendency to minimize conflicts between various groups within the nation, and to displace the in-group-hostility onto outside groups. A purely psychological tension between organized groups, however, never suffices to create real conflicts. 'Such mechanisms only lead to conflict, however, when the group is organized in terms of some primary interest.'
