This project is informed by the idea that the representation of the enemy plays a role in the conduct of war. If this problem is
well documented regarding past wars, little is known however about the representations of the opponent in the contemporary wars, in
particular during asymmetric conflicts that take place through the world for decades. This interdisciplinary research project
(political science, sociology, history, economy) intends to highlight this blind spot by conducting interviews with the French,
British and German servicemen who participated in foreign military interventions.
