Causes and nature of changes in modern warfare

The purpose of this article is to survey the approaches to analyzing the primary causes of the transformation of warfare in modern conditions, characterized by transition to a new technological paradigm in which digitalization, in conjunction with nano-, bio-, cognitive, and social technologies, plays a leading role. Digitalization generates transformation of warfare, affecting both its classical and non-classical forms. This factor intersects with the contest among globalization projects, within which the primary belligerents are subjects of globalization opposing subjects of nation-states and local civilizations.
