Summary/Abstract: Although war is immutable in terms of its nature, we consider that its waging is determined by the evolution of human society. Military science, political science, international relations and sociology are the main academic areas that theorise the phenomenon of war and design its doctrinal basis. From our scientific research on war and its causes we deduce that war is a complex phenomenon whose causation and prevention should be motivated multidisciplinary. Thus, in our view, restricting research to only one academic discipline, for example to the military science, might lead to incomplete results, unsynchronised with the international practice.
