Information Strategy and Warfare: A Guide to Theory and Practice (Contemporary Security Studies)

This volume develops information strategy as a construct equal in importance to military strategy as an influential tool of statecraft.

John Arquilla and Douglas A. Borer explore three principal themes:

• the rise of the ‘information domain’ and information strategy as an equal partner alongside traditional military strategy
• the need to consider the organizational implications of information strategy
• the realm of what has been called ‘information operations’ (IO) - the building blocks of information strategy - has been too narrowly depicted and must be both broadened and deepened.

Information Strategy and Warfare will be essential reading for students and practitioners of information strategy, as well as scholars of security studies and military strategy in general.
