State conflict in the modern era creates complex challenges and opportunities for the international community. Various factors, including geopolitical changes, economic shifts, and technological developments, are the main drivers in the dynamics of this conflict. In this context, conflict is not only limited to military disputes, but also includes struggles for political power and control of resources. One significant challenge is rising nationalism. Many countries are experiencing the rise of strong national identities, which sometimes leads to tensions between ethnic or religious groups. For example, tensions in Eastern and Central Europe, where countries such as Ukraine and Belarus demonstrate the excesses of nationalist movements, are the focus of world attention. These countries are often caught up in competition between great powers seeking to influence their domestic policies. In addition, the use of advanced technology in conflict—such as cyber warfare—creates new challenges. Countries must face the threat of cyber attacks that can damage critical infrastructure and threaten national security. For example, cyberattacks targeting election systems in various countries show how vulnerable countries are in the digital era. However, the modern era also provides new opportunities for conflict resolution. Digital diplomacy offers a new platform for dialogue and negotiation between countries. The internet and social media allow information and opinions to spread quickly, thereby increasing global awareness of certain issues. For example, social movements that emerge on digital platforms can strengthen the voices of civil society and encourage governments to make changes. Furthermore, international cooperation through organizations such as the United Nations (UN), ASEAN, and the European Union can facilitate conflict resolution. These organizations seek to create forums for countries to share views and find peaceful solutions, although results are often difficult to achieve. When countries unite to face global threats such as climate change and pandemics, cooperation can strengthen international stability. Thus, even though state conflict situations in the modern era bring great challenges, opportunities for dialogue, collaboration and creating security can be utilized. Innovations in diplomacy and technology offer new hope for more effective conflict resolution. World leaders need to take advantage of this atmosphere of cooperation to address future challenges wisely and innovatively.
