Long Description:
Warfare has traditionally been between clear & defined armies used within some level of intensity. Modern combat has seen the emergence of new types of conflict. Modern "war" is evolving with states & other actors within the system engaging in different types of conflict, either below the level of war or using combatants which may not be nationals of the state. This lecture will examine what hybrid & grey-zone warfare is, and why actions are being taking below the level war. It examines the modern usage of mercenaries & non-state-actor para-military units to engage in conflict which can provide a State with plausibility deniability, and the reasons for these choices. Presented by Dr. Craig Greathouse, Professor of Political Science specializing in the EU, International Relations Theory and Security and Defense Policy, on the National Security Decision Making Game staff.
