Abstract

Clausewitz’s interpretation of war has retained at least some relevance in the face of hyper-modern war, anti-modern war and the technological and political transformations of modern war. Can it survive other challenges which are yet more fundamental? Three in particular are worth examining: the contemporary challenge to realism; the possible decline of the state; and the assumption of rationality in war. All three seek to knock away the underpinnings of Clausewitz’s theory of war – indeed, of all theories of modern war.
