Subversion
"In 2014, Russia launched a "Hybrid War" against Ukraine that, according to some, ushered in a revolution in conflict. The term is notoriously vague, referring to all measures short of war states use to attain strategic aims. States, of course, have long used measures in the "gray zone" between war and peace. Yet they did not always have the Internet."--
Political Technology
Shows how the Russian practice of 'political technology' (politics as manipulation) has been replicated in countries across the world.
Reset
Winner of the Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing 'Reading this book might make you wish to set fire to your smartphone, but it might also make you wish to call for reform.

Margaret Atwood How to comprehend and correct the negative impact of the internet on politics, the economy, the environment and humanity? Reset is a fast-paced, compelling expose; and a rallying call for clear change. Drawing on the cutting-edge research of the Citizen Lab, the world-renowned digital security research group he founded, Ronald J. Deibert exposes the influence of the communications ecosystem...
Deter, Disrupt, Or Deceive
"The idea of "cyber war" has played a dominant role both in academic and popular discourses concerning the nature of statecraft and conflict in the cyber domain. However, this lens of war and its expectations for death and destruction may distort rather than help clarify the nature of cyber competition. Are cyber activities actually more like an intelligence contest, where both states and nonstate actors grapple for advantage below the threshold of war? This book debates that question. The contributors unpack the conceptual and theoretical logics of the framing of cyber competition as an intelligence contest, particularly in the areas of information theft and manipulation. Taken as a whole, the chapters give rise to a unique dialogue, illustrating areas of agreement and disagreement among leading experts, and placing all of it in conversation with the larger fields of international relations and intelligence studies"--
No Shortcuts
Over the past decade, numerous states have declared cyberspace as a new domain of warfare, sought to develop a military cyber strategy and establish a cyber command. These developments have led to much policy talk and concern about the future of warfare as well as the digital vulnerability of society. No Shortcuts provides a level-headed view of where we are in the militarization of cyberspace.In this book, Max Smeets bridges the divide between technology and policy to assess the necessary building blocks for states to develop a military cyber capacity. Smeets argues that for many states, the barriers to entry into conflict in cyberspace are currently too high. Accompanied by a wide range of empirical examples, Smeets shows why governments abilities to develop military cyber capabilities might change over time and explains the limits of capability transfer by states and private actors.
The Politics of Cyber-Security
By combining theoretical discussions with real-world examples, The Politics of Cyber-Security offers readers valuable insights into the role of cyber-security in the realm of international politics. In the face of persistent challenges stemming from the exploitation of global cyberspace, cyber-security has risen to the forefront of both national and international political priorities. Understanding the intricacies and dynamics of cyber-security, particularly its connections to conflict and international order, has never been more essential. This book provides the contextual framework and fundamental concepts necessary to comprehend the interplay between technological opportunities and political constraints. Crafted to resonate with a diverse audience, including undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, course instructors, policymakers, and professionals, it aims to bridge gaps and foster understanding across various backgrounds and interests.
Command
Using examples from a wide variety of conflicts, Lawrence Freedman shows that successful military command depends on the ability not only to use armed forces effectively but also to understand the political context in which they are operating. Command in war is about forging effective strategies and implementing them, making sure that orders are appropriate, well-communicated, and then obeyed. But it is also an intensely political process. This is largely because how wars are fought depends to a large extent on how their aims are set. It is also because commanders in one realm must possess the ability to work with other command structures, including those of other branches of the armed force...
L'art de la guerre russe
Pourquoi l’Ukraine est en train de perdre la guerre contre la Russie ? Comment les deux camps pensent et mènent leurs opérations ? Quelles ont été les erreurs de part et d’autre ? Comment l’Occident a contribué à la défaite ukrainienne ?... Pour répondre à ces questions et à bien d’autres, Jacques Baud s’appuie sur des informations officielles, des documents américains, occidentaux et russes. Il explique la manière dont la Russie comprend et conduit la guerre. Il montre combien l’incapacité des Occidentaux à comprendre cette réalité et leur détermination à affaiblir la Russie s’est retournée contre l’Ukraine. Après les best-sellers Poutine, le maître du jeu ?, Opération Z et Ukraine entre guerre et paix dont le travail d’analyse a été salué dans le monde entier et dont les ouvrages ont été traduits dans plusieurs pays, l’auteur revient sur la guerre en Ukraine. Il expose la manière dont la Russie l’a menée et comment l’image qu’en ont donné les Occidentaux a conduit l’Ukraine vers l’échec.
Changing the Narrative
Narratives provide the storylines of conflict and in doing so become an arena of conflict themselves. When states mount information campaigns against each other, they are trying to change the narrative. The digital platforms of the new information environment have been identified by various analysts as a significant factor in contemporary strategy and crisis management. But while social media is noisier and more chaotic than traditional media, and unprecedented in its immediacy and accessibility, has it thus far been a game changer in strategic affairs? In this Adelphi book, Sir Lawrence Freedman and Heather Williams examine the impact of state-led digital information – or disinformation â...
Citizens, Participation and Media in Central and Eastern European Nations
Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries have faced significant political, economic, social, and technological transformations over the last four decades. Democratic processes, after relative stabilisation, have begun to tremble again around polarizing values, populist leaders, or nationalistic ideologies. Online communication, especially social media platforms, play a vital role in shaping how citizens interact with the state, political actors, media, and other citizens. This book focuses on some of the challenges democratic institutions in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries face in transforming and sustaining civil society and captures how the digital media environments mitig...
