GARCIA, Francisco Proença. The phenomenon of war in our century. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2009, n.22, pp.103-120. ISSN 1645-9199.

The researchers of international relations and strategy have been focused their analysis in the phenomenon of war for so long. We had assisted to a change in the war model, from a clausewitzian model towards an irregular, global, asymmetric and permanent model with an undefined origin. According to this we will design the evolution in the armed conflicts and characterize the main threats to our security, presenting the association between these wars and the war of our century.

Keywords : Carl von Clausewitz; war; strategy; internacional security.
