There are many causes leading to international conflict among
which are the following: The existence of international alliances
and blocks companies, for power and influence. Changes in such
alliances lead to misbalance in power related to states affected by
those misbalances work for rebalancing power relations and alliance
system in a way which may evolve in tension and conflicts.
Slide 2
Ex :Expanding NATO to include eastern and central European
countries which were formally members in WARSO pact raises the fear
and protests of Russia which tries on its part rebalance the power
politics in the region.
Slide 3
Because interests of states contradict each other,state while
seeking while promoting national interests maybe involved in
conflicts due to the aggressive reactions of the state negatively
affected by such trials. Ex.The recent Chinese orientation towards
Africa in promoting the vital interests of china in Africa with its
richfull in natural resources oil in particular.such orientation
raised aggressive and negative reactions with the USA.The rivalry
and conflict of the two big powers in Darfour,Chad,Kenya and other
Africa regions are examples to this point.
Slide 4
It can be said that non-democratic political regimes which are
more inclined to domination and control, disobedient to the
international law & morality rules,constitute a very important
source of international tension and conflict. Ex.the Nazi in
Germany,Fascism in Italy and Militarism in Japan constituted
together the principle sources of conflict which resulted in the
break out of the World War Two. Ex. The dictatorial political
regime of Saddam Hussien in Iraq involved it in many conflict and
wars (Iraqi Iranian 1980/1988-Iraqi occupation of Kuwait in 1990
and 2 nd gulf war-foreign intervention in Iraq in 2003)
Slide 5
The armament race due to its secret and hidden nature creates
an atmosphere of mutual doubt and uncertainty among the states
involved in such race. it is not known weather the purposes
underlying it are defensive or offensive something which
constitutes a source of tension and conflict among the states
concerned.
Slide 6
Ex. Armament race in the East West relation during the cold war
period was underlying many conflicts and crisis in different
regions of the world like the Cuban crisis in 1965-1973 war in the
Middle East Ex.Armament race in Indian Pakistani relations wars in
1965,1970 Ex.Armament race in the Arab Israeli conflicts in
1948.1967,1973.wars
Slide 7
Economic deprivations suffered by some states and communities
constitutes a source of international relations since such
deprivation push the states suffering to try correcting all forms
of disbalancing in the international relations.The same thing is
said as to the increasing over population which push for competing
over resources. Ex.The North-South relations which reflects the
wide gap between the rich in the north and the poor in the
south,such relations suffers from the passes by many crisis:Energy
crisis,Debt crisis,Transfer of technology crisis, and pollution and
climatic change crisis
Slide 8
Foreign intervention in the domestic affaires has recently
increased under the umbrella of different purposes:Human
Rights,Democracy, and Nuclear Weapons Such intervention takes many
forms which are economic,military,cultural, Media and propaganda..
Ex.America and United Nations intervention in domestic affaires of
so many different regions of the world (Somalia,Lebanon,Afghanistan
Iraq,Sudan)
Slide 9
International conflicts may evolve in crisis which may in
return result in wars and armed violence. What is the crisis? A
sudden and unexpected situations and events happen in IR
Slide 10
1)the regional crisis : Limited in scope where it relates to
and concerns a certain region (the Gulf Crisis 1980- 1988)
Slide 11
2)the international crisis: Wider in scope where they relate
and concern different regions of the world. the mismanagement of
such crisis may result in wars and armed violence. Ex 1956 Suez
crisis (the tripartite aggression),2 nd Gulf Crisis in 1990-1990,11
th of September 2001,wars against Iraq, Afghanistan, and wars
against terrorism. *its noted that big powers may succeed in
transferring their international into their client state(The
American policy after September 11 th event) resulted in the war
against terrorism which resulted in the war against Afghanistan in
order to up rote Taliban regime and replace it with a client
one.
Slide 12
A)Regional Crisis,limited in scope where it relates to and
concerns a certain region (first gulf crisis 1980-1988)
B)international crisis,wider in scope where they relate to and
concern different region of the world.The mismanagement of such
crises may result in wars and armed violence.
Slide 13
Ex 1956 Suez crisis, the tripartite aggression.The Gulf crisis
in 1990 -1991.War against Iraq Sep 11 th war against terrorism. Its
noted that big powers may succeed in transferring their
international crisis into their client state(the American policy
after the sep 11 th events resulted in war against in war against
terrorism into Afghanistan in order to up rote Taliban regime and
replace it with a client one.
Slide 14
Conflicts if interests among states involved in the conflict
Misestimating and mistaking in the evaluating and measuring self
power and that of others Mismanagement of foreign policy,situations
due to lack of long-term strategic visions regarding the emerging
and standing issues and problems. .
Slide 15
Misunderstanding the actions of others due to lack of
information It should be noted that there should be good management
of the crisis in question so as to ensure the promotion and
protection of national interests of the state Ex the mismanagement
of the 2 nd Gulf crisis in 1990-1991 on the pat of Iraq resulted in
the very catastrophic events from 2003 till now.
Slide 16
Failing in resolving international conflicts and managing the
crisis they result in may lead to break out of wars and armed
conflicts.
Slide 17
World wars: Wider in scope weather in relation to the parties
involved or in relation to the weaponary used.. The world had
witnessed two global wars(1914- 1918-1939-1945) The tremendous and
dangerous progress in weaponary (mass destructive weapon)makes any
global war, if broken out extremely destructive and
catastrophic
Slide 18
Regional war (india Palestine 1965,1976 iranian, irraqi war
1980,1988) The probability of using mass destructive weapons in
contemporary regional wars would in catastrophic harm and losses on
both regional and international levels
Slide 19
Guerrilla war This type of wars runs between two in equivalent
parties in view of power capabilities where one is more powerful
than other(USA in Vietnam 1962-1979,soviet union in Afghanistan
1979-1989) its observed that nearly in all such wars the Guerria
party could finally defeat the powerful one)
Slide 20
Civil war runs inside the same country between different
factions the rebels and the central government. Civil wars break
out due o domestic factors(political, economic)they may also break
out ue to foreign support and intervention(somalias, sudan,
bosnia,checchayna )
Slide 21
Things that we conclude & basic remarks on war and armed
violence in international relation The existence use of armed force
may result in the destruction of the values and interests aimed to
be protected by such use. War for the above resources should be the
last resort after using up all other alternatives.
