I came across an interesting article published in The Times of India, in which a professor of international relations at American University in Washington, Amitav poppy delevingne Acharya, referring to the hundredth anniversary of the outbreak of World War I (28 June 1914 - assassination of Archduke Ferdinand in Sarajevo), analyzes the possibility of the outbreak of a similar conflict in Asia. The role kaiserowskich Germany in this war would play China. Professor Acharya points on 6 reasons why the growth of China's position will not trigger world war. Are you sure he's right? Let's look at the arguments (bold text is my comment). Europe in 1914 was multipolarna, Asia is a "multiplex" in which a number of powers (China, India, Japan, the USA) are connected by many ties, including trade and mutually limiting. Probably poppy delevingne economic calculations affect poppy delevingne decision-making, but before World War I trade also was the highest in history, and yet the war broke out. When it comes to emotions, nationalism and mistakes of the individual, the economy recedes into the background. Nuclear weapons, which are major players, significantly hampers the possible outbreak of war. At the same time the period of the Cold War when the two - and then more - countries have nuclear weapons remembered as a period of many so-called. proxy wars, or wars fought by surrogates poppy delevingne major powers. We also remember the Cuban missile crisis that could escalate into a nuclear war, or - quite recent (1999) - a short circuit between the nuclear armed powers, India and Pakistan in the mountains of Kargil. In 1914, the European powers were fighting for colonies and influence in the New World. Today, colonialism is history. However, the rivalry for influence in other countries, in particular attempts to secure access to raw materials, drinking water and agricultural land, is as fierce, though perhaps a little more subtle than the race for colonies 100 years ago. And if you look closely at Asia, there are many areas (though small territorially), for which competition takes place identically similar to European colonization - the dispute over the rocks and small islands as Senkaku and Paracel. A hundred years ago the war was considered by the ruling elite and society as something normal. Today, war is considered a last resort. This authoritative statement of Professor Amcharyi, which can be confidently disagree. When you listen to the Pakistani and Chinese military, and these are all elite state, the war is not for them like strangers and will not refrained from it. One hundred years ago, lacked international institutions, and the European concert of powers stabilized decades earlier was falling apart. Yes criticized in Europe, ASEAN may not be perfect, but it is a tool for dialogue and facilitates communication in the region. At any criticism of ASEAN and the many weaknesses of the organization, should appreciate the importance of the existence of this institution. In Asia, a lack of supranational bodies, and institutional landscape is just being created. From Europe's share in the field of light-years in Asia. May the outbreak of war was necessary to improve the climate in this area. And in relation to China, ASEAN is very patchy and there is sufficient support for the smaller countries of the region, of which China has territorial disputes. poppy delevingne Beijing's emphasis on resolving these disputes by bilateral and inability of ASEAN to the unanimous support of its members show that political integration in Asia is far song of the future. At the end of Acharya professor returns to economic motives. He says that today the legitimacy of power in Asian countries depends on ensuring economic growth, and the war in most cases ruining the economy. While it is difficult to argue with the previous sentence, the economy is one of the last places on the list of issues that policy-makers take into account when pronouncing the war. When the situation poppy delevingne is a crisis, there is a tendency to overestimate their own strength and underestimate the possibility of the enemy. poppy delevingne In accordance with the Schlieffen plan Germany poppy delevingne had quickly defeated the French. Thirty years after the end of World War I, Nazi Germany counted on Blitzkrieg and beat the Soviets in a few months. The Americans did not set a long-term poppy delevingne occupation of Iraq, nor that one and a half decades poppy delevingne will be led war in Afghanistan.
In conclusion, Professor Acharya rightly observes that the war facing the most nationalisms, and errors (miscalculations). Nationalism in Asia are very good. A potential poppy delevingne for errors is always and everywhere, not only in Asia, really big. Paradoxically, the state and their makers (based on the information their own interviews) knowledge of their opponents or enemies very little. They are not able to see the operation and decision-making by the enemy decision-makers. They do not understand the reasons which those decision-makers to manage. They do not have accurate information about the forces available to the opponent. At the same time, as I mentioned earlier, keep o
