Accelerating societal, economic, political and technological change affects how we prepare, equip and organise for war, as well as how we conduct war – both in its low-tech and high-tech forms, and whether it is with high intensity or low intensity. The volume examines changes in warfare by investigating the key features of the conduct of war during the first decades of the 21st century. Conceptually centred around the terms ‘kinetic’, ‘connected’ and ‘synthetic’, the analysis delves into a wide range of topics. The contributions discuss hybrid warfare, cyber and influence activities, machine learning and artificial intelligence, the use of armed drones and air power, the implications of the counterinsurgency experiences in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria, as well as the consequences for law(fare) and decision making. This work will be of much interest to students of military and strategic studies, security studies and International Relations."Military art and scienceHistory21st centuryWarHistory21st centuryAfghanistan; armed conflict; autonomous systems; cyberwar; drones; Iraq; Libya; warfareMilitary art and scienceHistoryWarHistory355.02Johnson Robedt1163966Kitzen Martijn1978-Sweijs Tim1981-Johnson Robert1967-MiAaPQMiAaPQUtOrBLWBOOK9910773604603321The conduct of war in the 21st century3662379UNINA
