Low-intensity conflict: the source of third-world instability

Article Abstract:

Low-intensity conflicts (LICs) are more likely to continue in third-world countries following the end of the Cold War era. LICs are an assorted variety of armed confrontations short of full-scale war that revolve around differences in ideologies and principles. The rising instability among developing nations underlie the growing discontentment regarding the traditionally accepted world order. Still, as nations openly renounce war as aninstrument of state policy, LICs are gradually being considered as the 'warfareof the future.'

The author argues that agroterrorism is increasingly likely because of the motives of terrorists, their increasing access to weapons, and the vulnerability of the agricultural infrastructure.
