Abstract
Developing a history of socialization to warfare, Ehrenreich reminds us of the possible roots that made humans turn from prey to predators. using the prehistorical sociopolitical developments initially from bands, tribes to chiefdoms and states, Ehrenreich tries to link the causes of war to these social mutations linked to symbolism and “blood rites” portraying it as a males’ activity. Although it seems that the approach is appealing as a constructivist or a social teleology with a feminist affinity, it fails however to grasp the causes of hegemonic wars. this paper addresses this dimension while defending the idea that the (neo)realist approach is still of relevance when approaching causation of modern warfare.

Abstract
Sosyalleşmeden savaşa uzanan bir tarih geliştiren Ehrenreich, bize insanların avdan yırtıcı hayvanlara dönüşmesine neden olan olası kökleri hatırlatıyor. Başlangıçta çetelerden kabilelere, şefliklerden devletlere kadar uzanan tarih öncesi sosyo-politik gelişmeleri kullanan Ehrenreich, savaşın nedenlerini sembolizmle bağlantılı bu toplumsal mutasyonlara ve savaşı bir erkek faaliyeti olarak tasvir eden “kan ayinlerine” bağlamaya çalışıyor. Yaklaşım, yapılandırmacı veya feminist eğilime sahip toplumsal bir teleoloji olarak çekici görünse de, hegemonik savaşların nedenlerini kavramakta başarısız oluyor. Bu makale, modern savaşın nedenselliğine yaklaşırken (neo)realist yaklaşımın hala geçerli olduğu fikrini savunurken bu boyutu ele almaktadır.
