Historical literature shows that geopolitical tensions between superpowers and the use of proxy wars were defining characteristics that drove the global scope and nature of the Cold War.
Over the last few decades, human beings are facing the worst challenges of violence, terrorism and wars apart from health related challenges. Health and peace are the fundamental rights of every human being and are interlinked. Relationship between health and peace is dynamic and bilateral. Peace is an important determinant of health while attainment of peace depends upon health of all people.1-3 Both health and peace have a very broad meaning. World Health Organization (WHO) defined health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”.3 Similarly, “peace” is currently taken as not just the absence or reduction of war but include negation of violence, presence of harmony, justice, equity; and the capacity to handle conflict in a nonviolent manner.4 Global peace is under threat by various conflicts, violence, terrorism and wars. During second half of 20th century, power game among superpowers resulted in open warfare, cold wars and proxy wars, leading to violent conflicts across the world. Worldwide, conflicts arising from any geopolitical, ethnic, religious and economic matters are handled either by a nonviolent peaceful way or through violence and wars. The use of violence for conflict resolution and peace building is not justified as violence itself is considered as opposite to peace and peace should only be achieved by peaceful means. 5,6 Violence, civil wars and terrorism are major threats to global heal
The paper is devoted to influence of famine at could war. It focuses on many factors: conflict with USA, geopolitical preferences of Stalin regime in East and West Europe and loss of historic image of the country progress. The reputations image of a social entity is an opinion about that typically results of historical criteria. Reputations are a fundamental instrument of international relationship. The Cold War was a State or geopolitical tension after World War II between powers in the Eastern Bloc and powers in the Western Bloc. The term «cold» is because there was no large scale figliting directly between the two sides involwed in the conflict, although there were major regional wars, known as proxy wars, supported by the two sides. The Cold War split the temporary war time alliance against Nazi Germany, leaving the Soviet Union and the United States as two superpowers with profound economic and political differences. The first phase of the Cold War began in the first two years after the end of the Second World War in 1945. The USSR consolidated its control over the states of the Eastern Bloc, while the USA began a strategy of global containment to challenge Soviet power, extending military and financial aid to the countries of Western Europe and the countries of Western Europe and creating the NATO alliance. The Berlin Blockade 1948–1949 was the first major crisis of the Cold War. The last major famine to the USSR in July 1946, reached its peak in February–August 1947 an
In this timely book Andrew Mumford sheds new light on the dynamics and lineage of proxy warfare from the Cold War to the War on Terror, whilst developing a cogent conceptual framework to explain their appeal.
Proxy wars represent a perennial strand in the history of conflict. The appeal of ‘warfare on the cheap’ has proved an irresistible strategic allure for nations through the centuries. However, proxy wars remain a missing link in contemporary war and security studies. In this timely book Andrew Mumford sheds new light on the dynamics and lineage of proxy warfare from the Cold War to the War on Terror, whilst developing a cogent conceptual framework to explain their appeal. Tracing the political and strategic development of proxy wars throughout the last century, they emerge as a dominant characteristic of contemporary conflict. The book ably shows how proxy interventions often prolong existing conflicts given the perpetuity of arms, money and sometimes proxy fighters sponsored by third part
This paper seeks to explore the importance and utilization of global connectivity in terms of economic, infrastructural, digital, and strategic levels for geopolitical goals by major powers and its possible implications. This is done so in the context of the rising multi-polarity and the supposed decline of the US status as the preeminent power in the existing world order. The paper explores the Chinese strategy to overcome its natural geographic disadvantages through the colossal undertaking of OBOR as well as how this project has inspired the emergence of various other supporting as well as competing trade routes. The United States seems to be reverting its successful Cold War era strategy of containment against China albeit through the use of forming strategic alliances and using proxy wars in strategic regions for this purpose while analyzing the risks associated with this strategy as well as possible alternatives available to the United States.
