The world of conflicts and confrontations is not homogenous; it juxtaposes different spaces, types of logic, and actors. Currently, there is no transnational discourse or power that seems able to regulate these conflicts. Their causes remain manifold, the number of players who are liable to put pressure on the international framework is increasing, and the powers that be are only just managing to control the array of potential confrontations. The world of conflicts in the XXIth century will be both familiar and unprecedented.
