COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF JOMINI AND CLAUSEWITZ’S PERSPECTIVES ON THE PHENOMENON OF WAR

Abstract

Although many examples can be given from ancient times to the present day, Antoine-Henri baron de Jomini and Carl von Clausewitz are recognized as important war theorists with their works. In this study, on the basis of Jomini’s “Outlines of the Art of War” published in 1838 and Clausewitz’s “On War” published in 1832, a comparative analysis of the two theorists’ methodology, the concept of war in theory, and the strategy and tactical applications of war in practice was made. The main purpose of the study is to examine how the two theorists approach the concept of war in theory and practice, and to make a comparative analysis on how they interpret strategy and tactical practices in practice. Although they both lived in the Napoleonic Era, they theoretically interpreted the concept of war from their own perspectives due to their different backgrounds and perspectives. In this context, the study aims to explain that Jomini and Clausewitz’s explanations of the theory of war over different issues as contemporary theorists still maintain their value by contributing to war studies today. Within the scope of the study, it has been determined that there are differences between the two theorists in terms of methodology, approach to the theory of war, strategy, tactics, the factors that influenced their thoughts, the role of the commander, and whether war is a science or an art. These differences are analyzed on the basis of their masterpieces and presented in the conclusion section. The comparative analysis throughout the study shows that both theorists have put forward a universal theory of war and have inspired the re-examination of the concept of war with its changing character. In the face of the complexity of war, their works complement each other and provide a comprehensive view of the abstract as well as the concrete aspects of war.
