This War Doesn't End — Here’s Why | Prof. Jiang Xueqin Analysis

This is not about a single battlefield.
It’s about structural incentives.
In this lecture, Professor Jiang Xueqin analyzes why certain wars do not end quickly — not because leaders want endless conflict, but because the underlying political, economic, and strategic structures make resolution costly for all sides.
This is not fatalism.
It is systemic geopolitical analysis.
In this video, Professor Jiang breaks down:
🔹 The sunk-cost trap — Once blood and resources are invested, leaders face domestic pressure not to appear weak, raising the political cost of compromise.
🔹 Security dilemma dynamics — Defensive moves by one side are perceived as offensive threats by the other, creating escalation cycles even without offensive intent.
🔹 Alliance entanglement — External powers supplying weapons, financing, or diplomatic backing extend conflict duration while avoiding direct confrontation.
🔹 War economy incentives — Defense industries, reconstruction contracts, and political mobilization can unintentionally create stakeholders in prolonged instability.
🔹 Information warfare and narratives — When victory becomes symbolic, compromise becomes politically dangerous.
🔹 Multipolar spillover risk — Regional wars increasingly intersect with global rivalries, making settlement dependent on broader great-power alignment.
Professor Jiang applies structural geopolitics and game theory to explain why modern wars often persist not because they are unwinnable — but because the exit costs exceed the continuation costs in the short term.
The real reason wars drag on is rarely emotion alone.
It is incentive design embedded within political systems, alliance structures, and strategic geography.
