The Influence Of Gory Conflicts

Carl von Clausewitz once said: “No one starts a war—or rather, no one in his senses ought to do so—without first being clear in is mind what he intends to achieve by that war and how he intends to conduct it.” One hundred and forty years later Dr. Fred Charles Iklé, a noted sociologist and expert defense strategist, authored Every War Must End where he shares his insights on the difficult process which wars have been brought to a “close” and how those lessons learned from the past failures to duly end a war have influenced the strategies of the future war efforts. In Dr. Iklé’s book, he states: “fighting often continues long past the point where a ‘rational’ calculation would indicate that the war should be ended—ended, perhaps, even at the

In the last decade, discussion of “the decline of war” has dramatically escalated. This essay evaluates and critiques three major arguments for the decline in warfare since 1990, examining the human nature approach of Steven Pinker, the shorter-term factors proposed by John Mueller and the alternative “New Wars” theory championed by Mary Kaldor. In combination, these approaches provide a general summary of the major strains of “declinist” literature and demonstrate the challenges of assessing the changing political violence and armed conflict after the Cold War.

Susan Bartoletti’s novel, The Boy Who Dared, is a creative-nonfiction take on the life of young Helmuth Hübener. It begins with seventeen-year-old Helmuth locked in a prison cell, remembering all the encounters that would eventually lead to his imprisonment. Early in his life, Helmuth was proud to be German, and he wished to serve his country in battle one day. Life was simple; he lived with two half-brothers and his mother, and he had never met his father. Out of his siblings, he was the youngest, but his mind was far from childish. Helmuth’s grandparents lived right next door to his flat, and when he was seven, he often heard his grandparents speaking about Hitler. Opa and Oma, as he called them, did not support Hitler’s ideas, saying that

Time is unending until the finish of our days, yet you should utilize time astutely and productively, which is self-disciplinary and requires a progression of ventures to take after.

The concept of ‘status quo’ is one of maintenance of distribution of power at any given point in time and the preservation of such. The term is derived from ‘status quo ante bellum’ which refers to maintaining the peace treaties and settlements that stabilized the region since the last general war. Thus status quo is about keeping things the way it is, its motive is to preserve and not necessarily gain, boast or heavily influence any new positions that may break the balance. To apply it in current times and specifically to the new and less known form of war- unconventional terrorist war

Analyse a conflict of your choice since the end of the Cold War, identifying the main parties (direct and indirect actors) and issues, explaining the conflict and relating it to its social or international context and how these factors have evolved over the life-cycle of the conflict. This should be done with a conceptual underpinning of the type of conflict being examined and within the organisational framework of conflict mapping.

The Diary of Anne Frank, also published under the simple name The Diary of a Young Girl, is the first book on the Holocaust many young people read. Told in the straightforward, first-person voice of a young adolescent witnessing the horrors of the Nazi occupation as it unfolded before her eyes, it enabled readers of all ages and religious persuasions to become eyewitnesses to history. "Reading her diary is a convenient way, a hook, to introduce the Holocaust to, say, eighth-graders in Iowa" (Tugend 2001). However, because the diary was edited by Anne's father Otto Frank, it is important to remember that Anne's diary is very deliberately 'crafted' for her readership. The diary is a work of nonfiction, but very artfully-constructed nonfiction and Anne had a point-of-view she was determined to share with the world. She was not a simple, ingenious girl carelessly putting words down on paper.

Ernest Hemingway stated that, “In modern war … you will die like a dog for no good reason”! Even though that is true, experts have gone further by trying to find the “roots” and explain why conflicts emerge in the first place. Two experts, Samuel P. Huntington and John R. Bowen, present two different approaches towards the cause of conflicts in 21st century. Although there is a difference between their approaches, both of them share the common believe that a conflict may occur when one puts pressure on the other; but the reason why this pressure takes place, varies among the two theories.

War is already hard to define, according to Clausewitz, war is “an act of force intended to compel our opponents to fulfil our will… a continuation of political intercourse with a mixture of other means”(Michael Sheehan, 2014, 217). More specifically, war was between countries/states and it involved open armed conflict. But war cannot be defined like this anymore in our modern times.
