Document Summary
Globalization of markers: leads companies to sell their products all over the world a second characteristic of modern capitalism, further decreases incentives for interstate wars. Foreign direct investments: occurs when a company makes an investment in buildings machinery or equipment in another country. Indirect investments require less communication and commitment and so do much less than foreign direct investments to integrate the financial and strategic interests of nations. Population is the prize: increasingly sought by both foreign and military policies the trend among military strategists is thus towards seeking ways to assist in strengthen cooperative commercial and social relations between countries. New wars: still sometimes include elements of hard power wars but theses new wars are fought to mobilize civilian populations at least as often as to capture their resources or territory. Old wars, industrial wars: new wars, wars among the people. Hard power wars: smart wars using both hard and soft power.
