Summary

Liberal democracies have always accepted the need to go to war, despite the fact that war can undermine liberal values. Wars may be won or lost, not only on the battlefield, but in the perceptions of the publics who pay for them. Presentation is therefore increasingly important. Starting with the First World War, the first major war fought by liberal democracies after the emergence on mass media, 'Liberal Democracies at War' explores the relationship between representations of liberal violence and the ways in which the liberal state understands 'rights' in war.
