War: International Conflict - The Neverending Story of the Axe and the Tree
Abstract
This research delves into the complex nature of war, examining its evolution, societal impacts, and philosophical foundations, highlighting war is not just a violent conflict but a social process influenced by political goals and power dynamics. Historically, war has varied in its brutality, with ancient conflicts often seen as more honourable compared to modern warfare. The emergence of agriculture and structured societies marked the beginning of organized warfare, driven by competition for resources and territorial control. The analysis critiques traditional terminologies advocating for a more nuanced understanding of war as a mode of inter-political relations beyond the simple binary of peace and conflict, in essence, providing a comprehensive exploration of war, challenging conventional views and suggesting that a deeper understanding can emerge from examining the intricate dynamics at play. It concludes that war is a universal phenomenon, not inherent to humanity but a product of specific social and environmental conditions.
