Military affairs have been affected by major changes in recent
years. The bipolar world of two superpowers has gone. The Cold War
and the global military confrontation that accompanied it have
ended. A new military and political order has emerged in the world,
but the world has not become more stable; indeed, wars and armed
conflict have become much more common. Forecasting the contours of
future armed conflict is no easy task at such times, but this is
the primary objective of If War Comes Tomorrow? Focusing on the
impact of new technologies, General Gareev considers whether war is
still a continuation of politics by other means' or whether the
political, ideological, and technical transformation have broken
that connection. He explores the linkage between threats to Russian
national interests and war as an instrument of policy in great
detail and concludes that there is very little prospect either of
nuclear war or widespread conventional war. However, he does see
local armed conflicts and local wars increasing, with greater
emphasis on subversion. He argues that coming decades will see a
shift towards a reliance upon indirect means to accomplish limited
political ends, and analyses both information warfare and the
revolution in military affairs from this perspective.
