Summary/Abstract: Even though the world is eager for peace, history shows that the war has always been present in international relations and there are no signs that any major change will occur in this respect. Therefore, research, analysis and debates on the war phenomenon have continued in all its aspects, including as far as its physiognomy and features are concerned. This study seeks to answer a few questions regarding the objective and subjective factors that have generated essential changes in the war phenomenon and the way this domain is seen by the military, security studies and irenology specialists and geopolitical and history analysts in the field. Is there not a dialectic of the new and the old, which intertwine in different proportions, depending on the geopolitical and historical specifics of the human groups (states or non-state actors) engaged in a conflict?
