Post-Modern Warfare

Authors: Gruszczak, Artur;

Post-Modern Warfare

Abstract

Over the past few decades, the gap between the 'war as it is' and the 'war as it was supposed to be' has been widening quickly. The insufficient and unsatisfactory utility of concepts of warfare which have emerged since the late 20th century has led to new enquiries into the changing character of military conflicts. Post-modern war is one of those propositions which combine a critique of the conventional doctrinal thinking with today’s unorthodox approach to the nature of warfare. The concept of post-modern warfare is proposed in this chapter in order to highlight the singularities of war and conflict in the complex global networked environment. It builds on post-modernist interpretations of warfare, blending and reshuffling in an unconventional way key features of the dominant concepts of 21st-century warfare. This chapter discusses post-modern warfare as a dimension of post-Cold War antagonisms and conflicts. Triggered by technological advancements and nurtured by the complexity and vagueness of the security environment, it has evolved through a three-stage process. These stages, corresponding to subsequent generations of post-modern warfare, will be examined according to drivers, dynamics, and potentialities of the use of coercion, manipulation and force to remake the ontological structuring of the global security arena.

W ciągu ostatnich kilku dziesięcioleci przepaść między "wojną taką, jaka jest" a "wojną taką, jaka miała być" szybko się powiększała. Niewystarczająca i niezadowalająca użyteczność koncepcji działań wojennych, które pojawiły się od końca XX wieku, doprowadziła do nowych badań nad zmieniającym się charakterem konfliktów zbrojnych. Wojna ponowoczesna to jedna z tych propozycji, które łączą krytykę konwencjonalnego myślenia doktrynalnego z dzisiejszym nieortodoksyjnym podejściem do natury działań wojennych. W tym rozdziale przedstawiono koncepcję wojny ponowoczesnej, aby podkreślić osobliwości wojen i konfliktów w złożonym globalnym środowisku sieciowym. Koncepcja ta opiera się na postmodernistycznych interpretacjach działań wojennych, łącząc i przeplatając w niekonwencjonalny sposób kluczowe cechy dominujących koncepcji działań wojennych XXI wieku. Wojna ponowoczesna pokazana została w wymiarze pozimnowojennych antagonizmów i konfliktów. Wywołana postępem technologicznym i rozwijana w kierunku złożoności i niejasności środowiska bezpieczeństwa, wojna ta ewoluowała w trzyetapowym procesie. Etapy te, odpowiadające kolejnym generacjom wojen, zostały zbadane pod kątem czynników je napędzających, dynamiki i możliwości użycia przymusu, manipulacji i siły w celu przekształcenia ontologicznej struktury globalnego bezpieczeństwa.
