The article makes an attempt to theoretically substantiate why intelligence is an independent instrument of state power, its common and distinctive features with other instruments of power. The paper ...also provides historical examples of the use of intelligence by various states to influence the behaviour of other states, as well as various approaches used therein.Some features of the use of the intelligence instrument of power by states in the conditions of the existence of bipolar and multipolar political systems are also highlighted in the article. It also draws attention to the incentives for the choice of intelligence as an alternative to other instruments of power in the context of the limiting impact of global collective security systems, in particular the United Nations.
The end of the Cold War changed the paradigm of the role and scope of military force in the management and resolution of conflicts. With increasing intervention by the international community, the ...new generation of peacekeeping operations has adopted a multidimensional approach to military force to be used in coordination with other instruments of power, ensuring a proper strategic framework considering the desired end state. This new approach and the increasing complexity of conflicts, predominantly intrastate in nature, have led on the one hand to understandings of the traditional principles of peace operations being addressed, and on the other to military forces facing diverse challenges. The most complex is related to the effective use of combat capabilities, as it seems that there is a lack of political will, after making the deployment of forces, to ensure their effective use. However, the effective use of force being the most critical element, but simultaneously more differentiating and characterising of the use of the military instrument, the management and resolution of conflicts has elevated the range of capabilities of military forces that goes beyond traditional capabilities combat, showing themselves useful in support, complement or replacement of non-military capabilities.

The contemporary moment is one of profound risk, and profound import. We have come to live in a unipolar world, where one remaining superpower has the capacity to wield enormous wealth and military ...force simultaneously, and to penetrate the material and symbolic spaces of the greater
part of the globe, without as yet effective challenge. The hallmark of the contemporary global order, under the flagship of the American imperium, is the conjuncture of these elements with the will to intervene and the claim to right, all waved under the banner of freedom and human prosperity,
yet actually embedded in a matrix of capitalist accumulation and an insatiable search for profit by corporate conglomerates. There is perhaps a new/old imperial story here. Yet, within the present landscape, the power to mediate knowledge and meaning, to shape imaginaries and provide authoritative
frames for affect and opinion, especially within the centres and the sites of influence of capitalist global flows, becomes critical. The peril of the moment resides precisely in the nature of the confluence between the cultural and the political: between mediated cultural production now itself
corporatized and globally disseminated, and militarized politics, both articulations of different forms of power, now effectively interlocking through the deployment of the self-same technological advances, and converging to press specific clusters of corporate and state interests.
The article identifies lessons learned from the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in the geostrategic context of international relations and politics and in elements influencing the future of warfare. ...Namely, Azerbaijan inflicted heavy losses on Armenian troops practically without the use of conventional aviation. The Nagorno-Karabakh war is often viewed in an international context through the prism of distant conflict (far from eyes and far from the heart) or through a label of the frozen conflict. However, it is unlikely that this conflict, which caused an average of about 60 deaths a year between 1994 and 2020, leaves men indifferent, despite what the international community calls a frozen conflict, whose future depends directly on timely and accurate response of the international community. It can be said that the view of the subject conflict is still frozen because it is something that has been happening for so many years, so it has become a part of everyday life that does not affect a person’s mood. Therefore, the prevailing opinion is that in this global world, interest must be expressed in every conflict because it will, in one way or another, affect states and populations, at least through the dimension of environmental pollution or arrival of refugees.
U članku su identificirane lekcije naučene iz sukoba u Gorskom Karabahu u geostrateškom kontekstu međunarodnih odnosa i politike te u elementima koji utječu na budućnost ratovanja. Naime, Azerbajdžan ...je nanio velike gubitke armenskim postrojbama, praktički bez uporabe konvencionalnog zrakoplovstva. Rat u Gorskom Karabahu često se u međunarodnom kontekstu promatra kroz prizmu udaljenog sukoba (daleko od očiju i daleko od srca) ili kroz etiketu zamrznutog sukoba. No, malo je vjerojatno da ovaj sukob, koji je u razdoblju od 1994. do 2020. u prosjeku uzrokovao oko 60 smrtnih slučajeva godišnje, ostavlja ljude ravnodušnima, unatoč tome što ga međunarodna zajednica naziva zamrznutim sukobom, a čija budućnost izravno ovisi o pravodobnom i točnom odgovoru međunarodne zajednice. Može se reći da je pogled na predmetni sukob još zamrznut jer je riječ o nečemu što se događa već mnogo godina, pa je postao dio svakodnevice koji ne utječe na raspoloženje osobe. Stoga prevladava mišljenje da u ovom globalnom svijetu, u svakom sukobu mora biti izražen interes jer će on na ovaj ili onaj način utjecati na države i stanovništvo, barem kroz dimenziju onečišćenja okoliša ili dolaska izbjeglica.
