The recorded
narratives showcase that
politico-diplomatic,
strategic, military, economic, technological
rivalries among States result in
sub-regional, regional and global wars that
are fought on land, at sea and in the air
in nearly every part of the world. The
advent and use of nuclear weapons,
militarization of the space and the cyber
domain has added newer complexities to wars.
By all accounts, the two World Wars, the
Cold War and the ongoing conflicts between
Russia and Ukraine and the rivalry between
the US and China are deeply immersed in
geopolitics with global ramifications.
