Termination of Conflict - Then What

Abstract

The problems of war termination in the post World War II period and the advent of the nuclear age are addressed from the point of view that most conflict will be in the nature of non-nuclear limited war. Yet the nuclear influence will ever be present and the threat of escalation to nuclear war will act as a catalyst to quicken termination. The emergence of a non winner-loser concept is discussed, and the need for an institutionalized approach to conflict termination is shown. The Korean War and the Yom Kippur War are compared to contrast the problems of war termination where super power interests are involved. The provision for a solution to the underlying issues that precipitate each conflict is seen as the only real basis for permanent termination.
