THEORY OF WAR

"However, politics and war do not constitute a unity only in the sense that each conducting of war between civilised peoples must be political. Their interweaving is seen at an even deeper dimension upon the analysis of the genetic character of war, i.e. upon the ascertainment of its origins in "political communication". Clausewitz time after time stresses that war "and especially war of civilised peoples", starts out "always from a political situation" and arises "only from a political motive" 94, "only from the political communication of governments and of peoples" 95, politics has "begot" war 96." (TK, p.30; TP, p.42)
