The changing forms of military conflict

Article Abstract:

The conduct of future of warfare will be influenced by the possibility of intervention rather than military powers. The most powerful countries are no longer inclined to engage in war given the absence of compelling reasons do to so. However, war cannot be considered obsolete since its likelihood has increased in smaller states which have increased access to weapons and are competing for military or economic power.

Is major war obsolete?

Article Abstract:

Major war is on the road to obsolescence as evidenced by the lack of direct battles between warring factions in the most recent war, the Cold War. This trend is attributed to the increase in the costs of fighting a major war and the decline in the rewards of winning a war. However, a major war still remains within the realm of possibility with Russia and China considered the most likely countries to start one.
