For millennia, humans waged war on land and sea. The 20th century
opened the skies and the stars, introducing air and space as
warfare domains. Now, the 21st century has revealed perhaps the
most insidious domain of all: cyberspace, the fifth domain. A realm
free of physical boundaries, cyberspace lies at the intersection of
technology and psychology, where one cannot see one's enemy, and
the most potent weapon is information. The third book in the Great
Power Competition series, Cyberspace: The Fifth Domain, explores
the emergence of cyberspace as a vector for espionage, sabotage,
crime, and war. It examines how cyberspace rapidly evolved from a
novelty to a weapon capable of influencing global economics and
overthrowing regimes, wielded by nation-states and religious
ideologies to stunning effect. Cyberspace: The Fifth Domain offers
a candid look at the United States' role in cyberspace, offering
realistic prescriptions for responding to international cyber
threats on the tactical, strategic, and doctrinal levels, answering
the questions of how can we respond to these threats versus how
should we respond? What are the obstacles to and consequences of
strategic and tactical response options? What technological
solutions are on the horizon? Should the U.S. adopt a more
multi-domain offensive posture that eschews the dominant "cyber vs.
cyber" paradigm? To answer these questions, experts examine the
technological threats to critical infrastructure; cyber operations
strategy, tactics, and doctrine; information influence operations;
the weaponization of social media; and much more.
"The authors of this book contend that the civil service system,
which was devised to create a uniform process for recruiting
high-quality workers to government, is no longer uniform or a
system. Nor does it help government find and retain the workers it
needs to build a government that works. The current civil service
system was designed for a government in which federal agencies
directly delivered most public services. But over the last
generation, privatization and devolution have increased the number
and importance of government's partnerships with private companies,
nonprofit organizations, and state and local governments.
Government workers today spend much of their time managing these
partnerships, not delivering services, and this trend will only
accelerate in the future. The authors contend that the current
system poorly develops government workers who can effectively
manage these partnerships, resulting too often in a gap between
promise and performance. This short, lively, and bipartisan volume,
authored by the nation's leading experts on government management,
describes what the government of the future will look like, what it
will need to work well, and how in particular the nation can build
the next generation of workers required to lead it. "
How can government leaders build, sustain, and leverage the
cross-organizational collaborative networks needed to tackle the
complex interagency and intergovernmental challenges they
increasingly face? Tackling Wicked Government Problems: A Practical
Guide for Developing Enterprise Leaders draws on the experiences of
high-level government leaders to describe and comprehensively
articulate the complicated, ill-structured difficulties they face -
often referred to as "wicked problems" - in leading across
organizational boundaries and offers the best strategies for
addressing them. Tackling Wicked Government Problems explores
howenterprise leaders use networks of trusted, collaborative
relationships to respond and lead solutions to problems that span
agencies. It also offers several approaches fortranslating social
network theory into practical approaches for these leaders to build
and leverage boundary-spanning collaborative networks and achieve
real mission results. Finally, past and present government
executives offer strategies for systematically developing
enterprise leaders. Taken together, these essays provide a way
forward for a new cadre of officials better equipped to tackle
government's twenty-first-century wicked challenges.
