Speaking about states wanting things obscures a lot.
So I assume you would frame states as less agenty and frame the source of conflict as decentralized — arising from the complex interactions of many humans, which are less predictable than “what states want” but still predictably affected by factors like bilateral tension/hostility, general chaos, and various technologies in various ways?
Oh, interesting.
