Russian 'Hybrid Warfare' and the Annexation of Crimea
The Russian Federation's 2014 operation to annex Crimea from Ukraine sparked an intense wave of literature on the nature of Russia's modern warfare practices. Most commonly, Western academics, politicians, and military leaders alike have labelled Russia's actions in Crimea and its follow-on operations in Eastern Ukraine as a new form of "hybrid warfare." Despite these claims, the 2014 Crimean operation was more accurately the Russian Federation's modern application of historic Soviet political warfare practices--the overt and covert informational, political, and military tools used to influence the actions of foreign governments and foreign populations. They involved the use of active measur...

Messages from Ukraine
On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine that dominated headlines around the world. Millions of Ukrainians would flee the country, and a third of the population would be displaced. In the days following the invasion, Swedish migration expert Gregg Bucken-Knapp sent text messages to his Ukrainian colleagues, offering support and assistance. These were their responses. In a series of graphic vignettes, Messages from Ukraine takes the words of Ukrainian migration professionals and transforms them into snapshots of how war affects the lives of everyday people: those who are forced to flee home and seek safety elsewhere, those who choose to stay and volunteer or fight, those who witness events unfolding from afar, and those who find themselves trapped in cities under siege. Messages from Ukraine captures a moment in time to tell a timeless story about war, displacement, determination, and resilience. Proceeds from the sale of Messages from Ukraine will go to the Canada-Ukraine Foundation, a national charitable foundation that provides humanitarian aid to the people of Ukraine.
Special Operations and National Security
This book focuses on strategic special operations and how these have led to the achievement of major foreign policy goals, which is illustrated by six case studies. The study specifically focuses on the alignment of the policies, strategies, and tactics that dominated these operations, providing a fresh perspective. Theoretically, the work underscores the continued relevance of relative superiority as the dominant theory in the field. Importantly, it aligns the potential ways of achieving and sustaining relative superiority with the ability to conduct contemporary special operations across multiple domains, thereby generating cross-dimensional effects. In terms of methodology, the book inclu...

Haben sich in militärischen Einheiten, in Gesellschaften, Staaten oder Nationen spezifische Kulturen etabliert, die zu exzessiver militärischer Gewalt geführt haben? Die Beiträge dieses Bandes untersuchen, wie sich in den regulären Armeen der europäischen Großmächte – von der Frühen Neuzeit bis zum Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs – spezifische militärische Gewaltkulturen entwickelten. Zudem beleuchten sie, welche Rolle diese bei der Ausübung exzessiver Gewalt von Soldaten spielten. Der Fokus des Bandes liegt dabei auf physischer Gewalt, die von Zeitgenossen sowohl in Kriegs- als auch in Friedenszeiten als illegitim angesehen wurde. So können sowohl die Maßstäbe der Legitimität und Illegitimität von Gewalt als auch die Bedingungen ihres Wandels aufgezeigt werden. Das überraschende Ergebnis ist: Trotz der Spezifik militärischer Gewaltkulturen der europäischen Armeen in den verschiedenen Epochen hatten diese weniger Auswirkungen auf exzessive Gewalt als bislang in der Geschichtswissenschaft angenommen. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/

Putin Takes Crimea 2014
An authoritative analysis of how Putin's Russia conquered the Crimea in 2014 using 'grey zone' warfare techniques, blending operations by anonymous special forces with cyber, sabotage, and propaganda. Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 was almost bloodless – fought as much through propaganda, cyberattacks and subversion as by force of arms – but it is crucial for our understanding of both modern warfare and recent Russian history. Ironically, this slick triumph eventually led to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the largest and costliest conventional war in Europe since 1945. This is a fascinating account of the Crimea conquest from a supremely qualified expert on modern Russian for...
