CHARACTERISTICS OF FUTURE WARS AND THEIR SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2012, Vol 163, Issue 1
Abstract
The article presents the analyses and evaluations of the causes, sources, conditions and nature of future wars. They were based on the experience of the military action that took place at the end of the last century and the beginning of this century. Moreover, contemporary views expressed by polemologs, political scientists and military experts were taken into account. The article identifies the principal types of future wars and their characteristics as regards involvement, scope, intensity, duration and other properties. In addition, it presents the expected consequences of war, among which special attention was paid not only to the disintegration of the structures and the destabilization of the economy and state economies, but also to social consequences, such as physical damage, poverty, epidemics, uncontrolled mass migration, the demoralization of society and political elites, and the deepening antagonisms of nationalistic attitudes or other hostile stereotypes. The article can be the basis for determining the desirable directions of security subjects, aimed at crisis prevention, often solved with such a policy tool as war.
