Abstract

Abstract As the international system enters a new phase of maturity and optimism, there is growing realization of the unwinnability of nuclear war. There is no doubt about the inconclusiveness of war as an instrument of state policy. The current international strategic environment indicates the emerging significance of low‐intensity conflict (LIC). Although this form of warfare has existed for centuries in its various manifestations, seldom has it been used to better outcome than during the last 40 years. In fact, LIC may euphemistically be referred to as the warfare of the “warfare of the future.” This article examines the emerging nature of low‐intensity conflict and its impact on the social development of Third‐World countries such as India.
