This negative phenomenon became an area of scientific inquiries penetrated by researchers from different fields of expertise. One of the more interesting and interdisciplinary approaches to the problem of wars and armed conflicts is the polemologic one. The paraphrase of the famous thesis by Flavius Vegetius: if you want peace, get to know war. The article is a presentation of the theoretical perspective of the polemologic approach to the study of wars and armed conflicts by Gaston Bouthoul.
