    Le nuove strategie di legittimazione della guerra

    No full text
    As in any historical context, the evolution of strategies for legitimizing war mirrors a more inclusive evolution of the dominant political, legal, and even ethical criteria. Notably, despite the persistence of a generically pacifist culture the past three decades have witnessed a progressive re-legitimization of the use of force. This shift has been underpinned by a diverse and heterogeneous set of justifications: the defense of international law, first and foremost, the progressive extension (almost indefinitely) of the right to self-defense, the right or duty of humanitarian interventions, and, at its most extreme, the imperative to eliminate criminal or antisocial actors

    La guerra in Ucraina e la disgregazione dell'ordine internazionale

    The war in Ukraine is likely to mark a turning point in the international re- lations of the 21st century. Firstly, it risks enhancing the dangerous bipolarization of the international system around the competition between the West and its ene- mies. Secondly, it reinforces this bipolarization with a growing militarization of relations between the main powers. Moreover, it deals a new blow to economic globalization, after those which had already resulted by the economic-financial cri- sis of 2007-08 and the pandemic of Covid19. However, the war in Ukraine has not caused the collapse of the international order; actually, it is only the outcome of a collapse already underway for at least fifteen years. Such collapse has been accompanied, as always in history, by a number of typical processes: the increasing challenge of the rising powers to what is left of the previous hegemonic order; the fallout of this challenge on the international political space, i.e. the tendency for the rising powers to build regional spheres of influence against the global influence of the United States and Europe; the weakening of the institutional fabric of inter- national coexistence; eventually, the crisis of all its fundamental principles, those which prescribe who are the subjects of the international order and what rules they must follow in their relations

    La guerra non è più quella di una volta. “Asimmetriche”, “a bassa intensità”, “globali”, “infinite”, “ibride”, “a costo zero”, “ineguali”, “tra la gente”, le guerre degli ultimi venticinque anni sono apparse comunque irriducibili all’esperienza e al paradigma militare della guerra novecentesca. Come si fa la guerra e che cosa si fa nelle guerre di oggi? Che differenza c’è con la guerra come l’hanno conosciuta e praticata i nostri bisnonni nelle trincee della Prima guerra mondiale
