이라크 전쟁의 전쟁양상 변화 원인에 대한 고찰 - 저항의지와 정치적 행위자의 결합을 중심으로 -

Abstract

The Iraq war was the one in which both conventional war, which was a national war, and non-conventional war, which was a war with non-state actors at the same time. The coalition, centered on the United States, conducted a highly effective conventional warfare using weapons systems combined with state-of-the-art science and technology. However, contrary to expectation, the insurgency began to be organized and the warfare changed into a counterinsurgency phase. As can be seen in the Donbass war in 2014, it is hard to imagine that a war between nations will not take place in the modern era where there are 195 nations around the world. However, the characteristics of war can change during the war. In this sense, the war in Iraq, which changed the characteristics of war, has many implications. Therefore, this study focuses on "what causes of warfare have changed in Iraq during the war". To prove this, I have illuminated "resistance will", "political actors" and the "resistance" during the Iraq War using Clausewitz 's "trinity" as a framework of analysis. The will of the Iraqi people to resist and the political actors changed during the war. After the conventional warfare, the Iraqi army was forced to dissolve, but new resistance came to the surface and the war came to a new phase. This study proved through the marvelous trinity that the war pattern changed during the Iraq war. And the cause of the change is that when the resistance will of the people is combined with the political actors, it shows the nature of the war completely. In order to minimize the resistance of the enemy countries, it is important to establish security order after the end of the conventional warfare and to take measures to prevent the emergence of political actors.
