Politics is how people live. It is the order imposed on their lives. Sure, resources and religion all impact politics, but without politics you cannot have war. All war is "80% political." We fight it to redistribute or reshape political power.
True. Many things drive politics, but "globalisation" does not create, in an of itself, "conflicts." Globalisation is a "so what" proposition."Other phenomenon" (eg: globalisation, climate, religion) drives politics which creates conflict.
So Warfare has changed, not War. The Internet is nothing to do with "Globalisation," more than the air travel and the telephone.I would say the advent of gunpowder (which is not a political but a technological event) has changed the way war is waged. Nuclear energy (another technological advance) certainly deterred state-state wars between countries with nuclear weapons. The Internet (one aspect of globalisation) has given a larger voice to individuals and allowed violent non-state actors to add new dimensions to war other than the purely physical (social, psychological).
