Harvard University experts explain why wars have become less effective in today’s world
Steven Walt from Harvard University pointed out that wars have become less effective in achieving political goals, despite their continued occurrence, due to their high costs compared to weak outcomes. He shows that most modern conflicts, such as America's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the Russian-Ukrainian war, have not led to clear strategic results, but often resulted in human, economic, and political losses. The decline in the effectiveness of wars is attributed to factors such as the proliferation of nuclear weapons, nationalism, globalization, and technological advancements, with a recommendation to be cautious about relying on military force to attain political victories.
