Abstract

Theories that attempt to approach violence, war, conflict exist from the emergence of state as a ‘monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force’ (M. Weber). Realists assume that states act rationally, while others linked conflict to rapid social change. A great deal of the argumentation directed attention at the social basis of state activity, and state’s coercive powers. Some explained state violence in terms of even larger processes. International relations analysts increasingly argue that major wars are less likely, but many, nonetheless fear the rise of new forms of domestic conflict.
