EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION |
The 1994 insurrection by the Zapatista National Liberation Army against the Mexican government has been recognized as one of the first social "netwars," characterized in part by the insurgents' savvy use of media and information and their ability to cooperate with transnational organizations such as non-governmental organizations (NGOs). RAND researchers David Ronfeldt, John Arquilla, Graham E. Fuller and Melissa Fuller examine the potential for other netwars to emerge beyond Mexico, analyzing effective netwar strategies and the types of authoritarian regimes that may be vulnerable to such challenges. The authors end by addressing the implications for the United States Army and for US military strategy. |
