AN ANALYSIS OF RECENT CONFLICTS

Abstract

380 conflicts initiated during the years 1946-1964 were analyzed. The analysis of recent conflicts has three major objectives: (1) to confirm or counter assumptions about limited warfare situations in the period 1946-1964 in order to provide greater validity in predicting such situations in the future; (2) to identify the major variables involved in the various kinds of recent conflicts so that these variables will be used appropriately in the analysis of future conflicts of a similar type; (3) to provide a data base from which important implications about the nature of recent conflicts may be derived so that effective processes of deterrence and control may be perceived for future application.
