| Summary: | When classifying military conflicts, if we are to look beyond the balance of
forces in the geopolitical and historic fields, no matter the nature and military
means for carrying out wars (be they conventional or unconventional ones), the
strategies being used, or the justifications employed by the world's centers of
power, we can name and outline two main categories of wars, by using the method
of reduction:
- defensive wars, carried out according to national deterrence strategies,
which are considered just wars;
- wars of conquest, which are considered unjust wars.
The latter category includes wars of economic disruption, interventionist
wars (for various political reasons), ideological wars, economic wars, wars for the
restauration of order and the rule of law, wars for imposing various interests, as
well as for creating institutions and centers of power in a new administrative
context under a new political leadership. |
