FOREIGN POLICY ANALYSIS Dersi Foreign Policy Instruments of States: War and Conflict soru detayı:
SORU:
How does Clausewitz define war?
CEVAP:
Clausewitz defines war as follows: “war is not merely a political act, but also a political instrument, a continuation of political relations, a carrying out of the same by other means.” In other words, war is a continuation of politics by other means. In this context, war might be defined as “the systematic violence imposed by political entities in order to achieve their political goals”. While the above definition can be accepted as the broadest definition of war, this concept can be defined differently from various aspects. As a matter of fact, the definition of war viewed from the socio- political angle is totally different from the definition given according to the legal perspective.
