title = {Clausewitz und der Kampf um Anerkennung in hybriden Kriegen: Zur Motivation von IS Kämpfern},
year = {2016},
note = {Clausewitz’s concept of the „wondrous trinity“ understands war
essentially as a hybrid form. The hybrid character of war is caused by
the instrumental rationality of war as a tool of governments on the
one side and its existential dimension on the other side. Clausewitz
is well known for his formula of war as a continuation of politics by
other means. However, this is a position of the very late Clausewitz;
the early Clausewitz developed an existential understanding of
warfare. The escalation of violence in existential warfare is caused
by the denial of recognition between the fighting communities.
Additionally, in existential warfare, violence presents an opportunity
of young men with unstable identities in a fractured globalized world
to give meaning to their seen-as miserable life.},
