Abstract
The problems of war and peace throughout the history of mankind remain the most discussed issues. Their solution is not only of purely theoretical interest, but also has an impact on the development of international law and relations between states. Modern world politics has signiï¬ cantly enriched ideas about the dialectic of war and peace, expanding knowledge about possible mutual transformations of war and peace, expanding the actors in the use of military force, and raising the problem of considering war as a means of enforcing peace.The purpose of the article is to trace the dialectic of war and peace at various stages of world history, to reveal the nature of transformations of war and peace, to establish the conditions under which war becomes a means of enforcing peace.The research methodology is based on the analysis of extensive historiography on the problem of war and peace, the use of the comparative historical method in studying the nature and character of such states of society as war and peace, the use of the dialectical principle in considering the place and role of violence and non-violence in society, the use of military force as a means of enforcing peace.The results obtained in the study allow us to expand knowledge about the nature and nature of modern wars, the conditions under which military force is a means of enforcing peace, indicate the need to maintain the armed forces of the state adequate to existing threats to ensure national security and sovereignty, in readiness for use as a means of enforcing peace.Conclusions. The results of the study allow us to conclude that in modern international relations, wars may have the goal of coercing peace. The just nature of the armed struggle of the people of Novorossiya, as well as the special military operation carried out by the Russian Federation, are a forced and extreme measure aimed at preserving the national and cultural identity of the inhabitants of Donbass, eliminating emerging military threats on the southern borders of Russia through peace enforcement.
