Clausewitz goes global
Carl von Clausewitz in the 21st Century

Reiner Pommerin, editor

This Festschrift commemorates the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the Clausewitz Society in the Federal Republic of Germany of 1961. This volume follows the intentions of the Clausewitz Society as described by one of its former presidents: “to view the current tasks of politics and strategy as reflected in the insights of Carl von Clausewitz and thus examine which of the principles and insights formulated by Clausewitz are still important today and are thus endowed with an enduring validity.” The board and the members of the Clausewitz-Society therefore supported the idea to examine how and when the works of Clausewitz have been interpreted in selected countries of our world; further, the goal here has been to analyze the role that Clausewitz’s thought still plays in these countries. See contents. All articles are in English. From Miles-Verlag, ISBN 978-3-937885-41-4, hardcover, 380 pages. Also available here.

Menicocci is editor in chief of Antrocom: Online Journal of Anthropology and author of books and essays on anthropology and philosophy. The paper aims to reconstruct the relationships between the thought of Clausewitz and the philosophy of Hegel. The concept of "absolute war" reveals its character, in terms of the Hegel's dialectical, of the "abstract concept," while "limited war" is a translation of the Hegelian "concrete concept" into the study of the war.

Clausewitz in Vietnamese

In January 2011, French writer T. Derbent saw this book in the Library of the People's Army, in Hanoi.The context was a meeting organized by General Hong Cu (brother in law of General Giap, formerly second-in-command of the political direction of the Army and redactor of the People's Army newspaper) about the question of Clausewitz's influence on Vietnamese military thinking.This is a digest of On War translated into Vietnamese and printed in 1950 by the Viet Minh—by guerrilla forces, in a field-expedient printing office, and on hand-made mulberry paper. See this article by General Hong Cu [local backup] about Derbent's book Giap et Clausewitz and its themes, in the People's Army Newspaper.

This image is from the website of Dr. Ramin Jahanbegloo, who is presently head of the Department for Contemporary Studies, CRB-Iran, in Tehran.
He would presumably be familiar with any Clausewitz bibliographical info in Farsi, and probably in Arabic as well.


CLAUSEWITZ IN FINNISH


Carl von Clausewitz
Ajatuksia sodasta ja johtamisesta

ISBN 951-9387-58-7

"Sodan filosofi" Carl von Clausewitz esitti tunnetut sotatieteelliset teoriansa noin 150 vuotta sitten. Harvan sotateoreetikon nimeen on vannottu niin monessa maailmaa järkyttäneessä yhteydessä kuin hänen. Clausewitz'n ajatusten lähtökohdan, että sotataito ei voi perustua absoluuttisiin matemaattisiin laskelmiin, vaan se on syvästi inhimillistä toimintaa, oikeellisuus on korostunut lähiaikoina.

Se teorian ja todellisen elämän tahdistus, jota Clausewitz "Vom Kriege" -kirjassaan suorittaa, ohjasi sodanjohtoa ensimmäisessä maailmansodassa ja uudelleen 30-luvulta lähtien useimmissa käydyissä sodissa.

Clausewitsin oppien soveltaminen sodankäynnin lisäksi myös muille aloille - kaupan ja liikkeenjohdon teorioiksi - käynnistyi 1970-luvulla. Clausewitz esittää teoriansa ja perustelee ne historian tai oman aikansa sotatapahtumien käytännön esimerkein. Pääsäännöt ovat edelleen käyttökelpoisia; tänään ehkä pätevämpinä kuin koskaan aiemmin.

Clausewitz in Romanian
Despre razboi
Carl von Clausewitz

Clausewitz a fost si ramane personalitatea centrala a gandirii militare. Exemplara prin originalitatea, profunzimea si marea deschidere a artei militare catre determinarile exterioare, 'Despre razboi' ramane valabila atata vreme cat razboiul este o continuare a politicii cu alte mijloace iar scopul sau ramne acela de a anihila adversarul atat fizic cat si moral.
