2014~2015年度,全球重大武装冲突的数量与上一年度相比有所上升,冲突仍然集中在中东、南亚和非洲东北部。其中影响较大的战争和武装冲突包括国际打击“伊斯兰国”行动、南亚印巴冲突、阿富汗战争、乌克兰内战、叙利亚内战以及伊拉克、利比亚、巴基斯坦、尼日利亚等国的国内冲突。在世界军事形势方面,2014年全球军费开支比2013年略有下降,但亚洲、大洋洲、非洲、中东和东欧地区的军费开支持续增加。国际油价的波动也对军费开支造成一定的影响。
<<The major armed conflicts in the world from 2014 to 2015 were almost the same as those during the previous year. The Middle East,South Asia,and Northeast Africa were the scenes of the majority of the armed conflicts. The war on ISIS,the civil wars in Syria and Ukraine,and the armed conflicts in Iraq,Libya,Pakistan,and Nigeria all attracted global attention. Global military expenditures in 2014,which were influenced by turbulence in the price of oil,were a little lower than those in 2013,but military expenditures in Asia and Oceania were growing steadily.
