The study is a contribution to the discussion on the definition of war in modern era and focuses on contemporary debates. By exploring the essence of politics and nation, in line with Carl Schmitt's theory of politics and by taking into consideration the forms of national liberation wars, the author points to the inadequacy of von Clausewitz's instrumental/political definition of war and lists most critical remarks to this theory. The author describes other theories, such as the pure war theory (war separated from politics) and the existential war theory (a political entity is being shaped and coming into being). Then he systematically lays out the modern concept of the nation and the corresponding definition of war. In defining wars, the author relies on the modern philosophy of the subject, particularly by G.W.F. Hegel, and on Scheler's theory of nation and war. Finally, the study shows that international relations are still to a large extent determined by the nationally-based politics, and that contemporary wars include many features of international and national-liberation wars.

"I rat je definitivno počeo 9. marta 1991, kada su Trg slobode i Terazije proključali pobunom protiv prošlosti i bivših ljudi, kada su najmlađe, najpametnije i najskuplje glave zemlje Srbije zatražile da one vode Srbiju, kada su kazale da hoće svoju budućnost i sudbinu u svoje ruke. Tada je pala presuda da se Trg slobode i Terazije moraju prorediti, oinvaliditi." Vuk Drašković na prvu godišnjicu 9. marta 1991.
