Secondly, the causes of military confrontations are analysed. Among them, fear, honour, interests and the desire for power are mentioned. Thirdly, different types of operations such as expeditionary, integrated, effects-based ones, as well as network-centric warfare, asymmetrical warfare and unconventional military operations are discussed. Last but not least, the causes of victory and defeat in military confrontations are examined.
