SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT - FACTOR OF MODERN WARS AND WARS OF THE FUTURE
Keywords:
Society, technological development, changes, modern wars, improvementAbstract
The development of human society and the progress of civilization in general are inconceivable without
science and technology. Throughout history, innovations and inventions have initiated changes in the organization
of society, the creation and disappearance of civilizations, states, empires. The discoveries of new technologies, their
improvements and human innovation in general are obvious catalysts for the development of civilization, inspiring
and permeating all social phenomena, including the character and nature of war.
The problem of work is scientific and technological development as a factor in shaping modern wars and wars of the
future. Looking for an answer to the problem question that the paper will try to answer is: What is the capacity of
innovation, technology and overall scientific and technological development in shaping the character of a complex
phenomenon such as war?
The aim of the paper is to analyze and compare different theoretical approaches to identify where technology
appears as a common denominator in defining the war of various theorists and how these theories see modern and
future wars in the context of scientific and technological development.
The significance of the paper is reflected in the attempt to compare different theoretical approaches in observing
scientific and technological development as a factor in the war. The information age and technological
breakthroughs we are witnessing will undoubtedly affect military organizations as well.
