Abstract

What Clausewitz noticed has become obvious since 9/11: "We see, therefore, that war is not merely a political act, but also a real political instrument, a continuation of political commerce, a carrying out of the same by other means." The lecture deals conflicts from the early 1980s to the present - such as the Iran-Iraq war or the 3rd Gulf war.
