04 Nov CONTEMPORARY CONFLICTS: WHAT COULD THE NEXT WAR LOOK LIKE?
Contemporary conflicts are deadlier, longer-lasting and more complex to decipher: power is no longer the dominant explanatory factor. Diversity – of causes, actors, and intensity of violence – makes enumerating and typologizing these wars a risky enterprise.
The number of conflicts occurring in the last few years has actually been on the rise (they have simply remained less deadly). Most conflicts have been waged by non-state actors, like organized criminal groups and political militias.
We will analyze how the way international community detect, prevent and resolve conflicts is diverse. Furthermore, we will discuss the future conflicts and how we can deal with the current ones.
