Distinguishing between civilians and combatants is a central aspect of modern conflicts.
Yet such distinctions are rarely upheld in practice. This book offers new ways of
understanding civilians' exposure to violence in war. Each chapter explores a particular
approach to the political, legal, or cultural distinctions between civilians and combatants
during twentieth-century and contemporary conflicts. The volume as a whole suggests
that the distinction between combatants and non-combatants is dynamic and oft-times
unpredictable, rather than fixed and reciprocally understood. Contributors offer new
insights into why civilian targeting has become a strategy for some, and how in practice
its avoidance can be so difficult to achieve. Several discuss distinct population
groups that have been particularly exposed to wartime violence, including urban populations
facing aerial bombing, child soldiers, captives, and victims of sexual violence. The
book thus offers multiple perspectives on the civil-military divide within modern
conflicts, an issue whose powerful contemporary resonance is all too apparent
