| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The aim of this article is to discuss conflict duration with specific reference to future conventional conflict. The article deals with the topic first looking at conflict scenarios as they obtain at present in India and that may transpire in future. Thereafter it looks at factors that effect conflict duration and lastly reflects on likely conflict ducation of future conventional conflicts. The conclusion is that many caveats go with the expectations of a short war based on reading of military history, international politics and possible internal political trends in conflict. This brings out the necessity of more deliberate thinking on how to avoid the resulting long duration conflict. |
