  • 摘要:The object of war, as Clausewitz writes, is defined by politics. War, he says, is the exercise of force for the attainment of a political object and hence his famous quote “War is the continuation of politics by other means”1 There is therefore a close link between war and politics, but what is this link? How does this link operate and how is success measured? Military operations in insurgency situations have had a long history. Although the historic experience of such operations varies across countries and over different periods, one common element has been the need for the state to assert the requirement of protecting its territorial integrity and unity. Counter insurgency operations involve the twin objectives of defeating the insurgent and assimilating the populace into the nation’s mainstream. Hence, these operations have to be closely related to the political objectives of the state. The political factor in the military strategy of such operations, therefore, assumes greater importance.
