The aim of the paper is to try to determine the essence of the new face of armed conflict. Liberia is the main point of reference in the analysis for two reasons. Firstly, Liberia is the oldest independent republic on the African continent and its establishing is linked to paradoxical events begun in 1821, when black people settling in the vicinity of Monrovia, former slaves liberated from South American cotton plantations, reconstructed a slave-like type of society, taking local, poorly organised tribes as their subjects. Secondly, Liberia proves that the intensity of changes in armed conflict does not have to be strictly dependent on the size of the land: a country of small geographical size can equal or even exceed countries with several times larger surface in terms of features of “new wars”. In 1989 in Liberia, the nine-year presidency of Samuel Doe, characterised by exceptional ineptitude and bloody terror, led to the outbreak of clashes between government forces and the opposition from National Patriotic Front of Liberia, led by Charles Taylor. Thus, the first civil war in Liberia was begun, that lasted until 1997 and became an arena of mass violations of human rights, leaving behind 150,000 dead victims and about 850,000 refugees to neighbouring countries.

vol. 1(6) Kryzys ukraiński i jego znaczenie dla bezpieczeństwa międzynarodowego: aspekty militarno-polityczne
289-321
PL
Można zauważyć, że żyjemy obecnie w warunkach, kiedy poprzedni ład światowy przestał istnieć, a nowy, który byłby akceptowany przez głównych „graczy” w światowej polityce jeszcze nie powstał. Państwa dominujące na światowej scenie politycznej przystąpiły do rozgrywki o nowy podział wpływów politycznych, o dominację ekonomiczną, nowy podział dóbr i kontrolę nad światowymi przepływami towarowymi. W artykule zwrócono uwagę na trwające zmagania tych państw na płaszczyźnie ekonomiczno-finansowej, w rywalizacji o dostęp do zasobów surowcowych i w rozgrywce o dominację militarną. Przeanalizowano wpływ globalnej rywalizacji na kryzys ukraiński i motywy, jakimi kierowała się Federacja Rosyjska podejmując określone działania w związku z tym kryzysem.

One may notice that we are living now in conditions when the former world order ceased to exist and a new one, which would be accepted by the major world politics "players" does not exist yet. States which are dominant in the world political scene have joined the struggle for the redistribution of political influence, economic dominance, a new distribution of wealth and control over global flows of goods. The article highlighted the ongoing struggle of these countries at the level of economic and financial influences, in the competition for access to natural resources and in the global game of military dominance, and emphasizes the influence of global competition on the Ukrainian crisis and the motives followed by the Russian Federation taking specific actions in relation to this crisis.
