This book examines the key dimensions of 21st century war, and
shows that orthodox thinking about war, particularly what it is and
how it is fought, needs to be updated. 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. Chapters 1, 2, 5, and 19 of this book are
freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF under a Creative
