Europe was the first to envision the world along global lines, colonizing it through wars of annihilation. Yet it also invented legal systems – the territorial, national, and social State – that strove to contain the boundlessness of war. One day in the twentieth century, in Hiroshima, “war itself ended”, but the “wars did not die” and today flourish in the form of widespread violence. This is the reason of the glaring inadequacy of the current international order which, having relinquished its position of leadership, now merely chase chaos. These new wars are not the continuation of politics by other means. We live in an age of unfettered techno-economic power — an idol at whose altar we stare at unspeakable massacres at every corner of the Earth: apolitical wars.

Keywords: Geopolitics, Geoapolitics, Techno-economy, War and peace, International law, Constitutionalism.
