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." 606 $aMilitary art and science$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aWar$xHistory$y21st century 610 $aAfghanistan; armed conflict; autonomous systems; cyberwar; drones; Iraq; Libya; warfare 615 0$aMilitary art and science$xHistory 615 0$aWar$xHistory 676 $a355.02 700 $aJohnson$b Rob$4edt$01163966 702 $aKitzen$b Martijn$f1978- 702 $aSweijs$b Tim$f1981- 702 $aJohnson$b Robert$f1967- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910773604603321 996 $aThe conduct of war in the 21st century$93662379 997 $aUNINA
