Fifth Generation Warfare, Hybrid Warfare, and Gray Zone Conflict
Strategists have noted substantial changes in warfare since the end of the Cold War. They have proposed several concepts and theories to account for the fact that the practice of war has largely departed from a Clausewitzian understanding of war and the centrality of physical violence in it. Emerging modes of conflict are less focused on the instrumental use of force to achieve political objectives and are more centered on notions of perception m…
Blockchain Empowers Social Resistance and Terrorism Through Decentralized Autonomous Organizations
The invention of the Internet has changed the way social resistance, revolutionary movements and terror groups are organized with new features such as loose network organization, netwars, social media campaigns, and lone wolf attacks. This article argues that blockchain technology will lead to more far-reaching changes in the organization of resistance to authority. Blockchain is a distributed ledger that records transactions using a consensus pr…

Teaching about 'Area 51'? How to Cover Secret Government Technology and Capabilities in Intelligence Studies Courses
According to a report by the DoD Inspector General, an audit of the Pentagon's budget for Fiscal Year 1999 indicated that $2.3 trillion dollars in accounting items out of an overall of $6.9 trillion "were not supported by adequate audit trails or sufficient evidence to determine their validity." Even if most of the $2.3 trillion can be written off due to waste, corruption, and poor accounting practices, one has to wonder how much of the money was…
Targeting Individuals
Targeted killing is not new. What has changed is the nature of armed conflict, states that openly admit to the practice, and the emergence of much more capable technology. Targeting individuals seems to make sense given the changing nature of armed conflict. But whether targeting dangerous individuals is indeed legal, effective, and ethical is often impossible to determine, either in specific cases or systematically, because of the secrecy surrou…
Automating War
New technological developments in the area of robotics and artificial intelligence have made robotic weapons systems of increasing autonomy possible. Although thousands of unmanned systems have been deployed, the vast majority are unarmed, used primarily for reconnaissance or removal of explosives. But deployment of armed robotic weapons has begun and promises to accelerate rapidly in the next decade. This article begins by proposing definitions …
