Summary/Abstract: War, as a destructive social phenomenon, represents the crudest form of the use of force in international relations. The characteristics of contemporary conflicts indicate that the essence of war has changed. The military power of states, expressed through the use of armed force, is increasingly proving ineffective in achieving foreign policy interests. The trend of its decreasing effectiveness can be explained by the impact of the globalization process and the information revolution on social flows, which has significantly changed the operational environment in which contemporary conflicts take place. Globalization leads to an increasing role of non-state actors in international relations, which, it is believed, transforms them into global relations. On the other hand, the information revolution has fostered new dimensions of unarmed international conflicts. Cyberwarfare, as a form of information warfare, is a glaring example of the conduct of modern conflicts.
