Abstract

This chapter reviews (primarily social psychological) research on representations of war and military intervention. This research has approached the object of investigation in various ways, focusing to a lesser or greater extent on contextual and historical processes, and assigning differential weight to the social meanings attached to war and military intervention. Furthermore, there are differences in terms of the research’s conceptualization of individual positions toward war and military intervention and the role of group memberships and intergroup relations. The chapter tries to bring together research findings from these different traditions by drawing implications for strategies to change representations of war and military interventions. We end by offering questions for future research.
