Potential for Forecasting the MilitaryPolitical Situation in the Context of International Conflict: History and Modernity
https://doi.org/10.53658/RW2025-4-3(17)-224-237
Abstract
The article is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of an international conflict, its socio-political indicators, and the identification of sources used to predict its dynamics. A separate retrospective, relative and comparative analysis of the military-political situation is carried out in the context of the holistic socio-practical phenomenon that accompanies the international confrontation. The author draws attention to the features of the typology of international conflicts and their functional determinants, as well as their regulatory mechanisms. Among other things, a multidimensional assessment of the military component of the conflict is conducted, and key areas for identifying and monitoring the most significant socio-political processes are identified. An alternative typology of international conflicts of the modern world is proposed depending on the subject orientation of forecasting and taking into account factors of the military-political situation. The publication focuses on identifying direct and latent processes that may influence the possibility of fragmentation of the background for prediction, as well as on determining the most appropriate way to predict in a chosen area of social relations. In particular, attention is paid to the peculiarities of formation and development of international conflicts through the use of socio-political techniques by participants in the phenomenon. The multidimensionality, specificity and transformation of the parameters of military-political situations are considered in terms of their predictive actualization and potential management in modern times. The importance of a comprehensive study of the potential for forecasting the military-political situation from the perspective of its institutional impact on international conflict is emphasized.
