缺乏明确表述的社会学框架是该书的一个弱点。不止一次，人们失去了扩展、扩大或详细阐述现有观察结果的机会。这本书列举了许多社会学家的名字，如鲁思·本尼迪克特、卡尔·马克思、诺伯特·埃利亚斯和米歇尔·福柯。然而，在名字核对之后，不同的作者没有继续探索与他们的不同学科有关的社会学理论中使用的概念。例如，诺伯特·埃利亚斯和“文明进程”被提及与恐怖团体和运动之间的“非法律化进程”有关。对教化过程和假定的去化过程的冗长讨论并没有发生，这对读者不利。另一个例子是具有挑衅性的观点，即伊斯兰运动已经变得“本土化”，但这个概念的起源和含义(由罗兰·罗伯逊最先描述)并未被讨论。总而言之，当代世界的战争变革缺乏理论依据。因此，许多论点和意见很难在现有的社会理论和军事社会学积累的知识的背景下进行评估。这本书对这一主题做出了适度的贡献，尽管它有潜力变得更多。
lack of clearly stated sociological frameworks is a weakness in the book. More than once, there were lost opportunities to extend, amplify, or elaborate on existing observations. The book name-checks various sociologists, such as Ruth Benedict, Karl Marx, Norbert Elias, and Michel Foucault. However, after the name-checking, the various authors do not follow up with exploring concepts used in sociological theory in relation to their various subjects. For example, Norbert Elias and the ‘‘civilizing process’’ are mentioned in relation to a ‘‘decivilizing process’’ among terrorist groups and movements. A prolonged discussion of the civilizing process and an assumed decivilizing process does not take place, to the detriment of the reader. Another example is the provocative idea that Islamist movements have become ‘‘glocalized,’’ but the concept’s origins and meanings (first described by Roland Robertson) are not discussed. In sum, Transformations of Warfare in the Contemporary World lacks theoretical grounding. As such, many of the arguments and observations are difficult to evaluate in the context of existing social theory and accumulated knowledge in military sociology. The book makes a modest contribution to the subject despite having had the potential to be more.
