The purposeful efforts to explain and define the changes of the Cold War system of international relations continue for a second decade. Certain referent studies1 stimulate the thinking on these topics, including in the post-9/11 period. Understanding better the transformation of the international system would provide us with a better view on the changes in its regulative sub-system, including the international legal component of the latter.
On this background it would become easier not just to reflect the peculiarities of the conflict landscape and map the variety of conflicts in the post-Cold War world but also to sense in an encompassing way the needs and problems of their management, regulation and solution. These are prerequisites to draw in a comprehensive way the picture of the post-conflict rehabilitation philosophy, logic and details of the activity – already practiced and consistently studied.
