6 The ‘New Wars’ Thesis Revisited

• Published: May 2011
• Cite Icon Cite
• Permissions Icon Permissions

This chapter focuses on the so-called ‘new wars’ that emerged in the late twentieth century. It examines the proposition that contemporary wars are ‘substantively distinct’ from older patterns of armed conflict and, as such, the ‘new wars’ reflect a new reality. Two related aspects to this general proposition are considered. The first concerns the idea of a historical disjunction between ‘old’ and ‘new’ wars and the accompanying argument that links the emergence of ‘new wars’ to two fundamental processes of change: globalization in the late twentieth century and the end of the Cold War. The second aspect concerns the actual features of the ‘new wars’ and the way in which ‘they differ from earlier wars in terms of their goals, the methods of warfare, and how they are financed’. The most interesting of these relates to the economic underpinnings of contemporary intra-state armed conflicts.

Post the Cold War which ended in 1991, several scholars have argued about the change in conflicts’ nature which started to take place in the world, and they touched upon different elements involved in them. Mary Kaldor has set these differences in her book New and Old Wars: Organised Violence in the Global Era . Her new wars thesis proved to be applicable to different areas of conflicts despite that she applied it first to the conflict of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This chapter navigates the new war thesis facets which can be traced in the conflict of Xinjiang in China, Kashmir, and Assam and Nagaland in the Indian Northeast.
