Who among the following defined war as an 'organised violence carried out by political units against each other' ?
Answer: C
The definition is Hedley Bull's (printed 'Headly Bull').
In The Anarchical Society (1977), Bull defines war as 'organised violence carried on by political units against each other'. Violence is war only if it is organised, official (carried out in the name of a political unit) and directed against another political unit.
Quincy Wright, in A Study of War, defined war as a legal condition permitting hostilities by armed force; Clausewitz called war an act of force to compel the enemy to do our will, and the continuation of policy by other means; Raymond Aron wrote on peace and war between nations.
