Les guerres anciennes et nouvelles

This work is based on the article written by Paul Richards in 2005: New War: An Ethnographic Approach. What was really important in this article, according to me, was to discover a new way to look and to study wars.
The concept of new war comes from the 90's and describes the conflicts that took place after the end of the Cold war. All those conflicts were no more influenced by any ideology. Those conflicts were new in so far as they are low intensity conflicts and they see the opposition of a lot of different actors in a kind of global network. This number of actors comes from the fact that the western countries can't ignore anymore the conflicts in the South given the fact that they can have some repercussions in their own countries. Then those conflicts are not synonymous anymore with battlefield or conventional armies and weapons. They are bases on what we call '' Interzones'' that is to say the zones where the State is absent or inefficient.
