The Journal of Strategic Studies : Vol 43 No.5, October 2020, pp. 645-685 (98)Summary: The aim of this paper is to re-think war's fundamental relationship with politics and adapt the classic Clausewitzian theory of the political logic of war to the contemporary political condition - with a special eye to the fluidity of politics 6 in the contemporary world. The analysis of the Clausewitzian political logic of war is conducted through the sociological 'liquid modern' lens. It is argued that with power increasingly shifting from centralised state-oriented political leadership towards market forces, non-state actors and other political bodies, the effectiveness of war has been reduced.
