Differentiate between peace lovers and war lovers
Answers
Explanation:
War is often presented as a conflict involving two sides, both of whom wish to ‘win’. However, many wars deviate from this conventional model. War may in fact offer a promising environment for the pursuit of aims that are also prominent in peacetime. Among the most important aims in contemporary conflicts are:
Accumulating resources: This can lead to militarily counter-productive activities and can also involve corruption and collusion between combatant groups, united in exploiting civilians.
Limiting exposure (of fighters, not civilians) to violence: This may involve manipulation of civilian militias, use of child soldiers, cooperation between armed groups, or use of proxies.
Weakening or eliminating political opposition: Armed conflict can be a useful way of dividing opposition.
The misleading portrayal of conflict as about ‘us and them’ has been extremely useful to elites protecting their own privileges:
International confusion allows protagonists to carry out human rights abuses with minimal international condemnation.
Opponents can be labelled as supporters of ‘the enemy’, weakening their credibility: ‘if you are not with us, you are against us’.
The image of an enemy may assist those benefiting from the political economy of a conflict – for example through trade in arms, drugs, or minerals.
The creation of one-dimensional ethnic identities is often an important part of maintaining the image of war as bipolar, and masking class dimensions of conflict.
