EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION |
The effects of the information revolution and the rise of new methods to acquire, store and control knowledge also extend to warfare. John Arquilla and David Ronfeldt examine what "netwar" and "cyberwar" mean as additions to the lexicon of conflict, drawing on comparisons with the thirteenth-century Mongols and with Vietnam to suggest the importance of effectively harnessing technology and communication. In their belief that cyberwar represents a new mode of warfare, marking the emerging power of networks over hierarchies, the authors urge further analysis and regional studies to assess cyberwar's implications for national security. |
