The work examines the rise of the movements against
globalization, modernization, and Western dominance that followed
the collapse of the bipolar world and the end of the Cold War and
that culminated with today's global jihadist movements. It
describes how the U.S. had to adapt to this new, asymmetrical world
of conflict with its strategic, doctrinal and theoretical responses
to the threats of terrorism and insurgency that defined the Global
War on Terror (GWOT).
Unique in the breadth of its scope, the book connects movements
from the Zapatista uprising to Al Qaeda's global jihad within a
broader historical framework, connecting pre and post-9/11
conflicts under the unifying theme of a struggle against the forces
of modernization. Featuring the works of key theorists such as John
Arquilla, Thomas P.M. Barnett, Arthur K. Cebrowski, Jim Gant,
Samuel P. Huntington, Robert D. Kaplan, David J. Kilcullen, William
H. McRaven, and David Ronfeldt, this book bridges the fields of
counterinsurgency, homeland security, counterterrorism,
cyberwarfare, and technology of war, and will be a must-read for
academics, policymakers and strategists.
