Hybrid Warfare and the Transformation of International Conflict (Best of OLLI)
The history of warfare has for the most part been a sordid tale of ever-expanding tools of lethality and destruction, but in the twenty-first century something has changed drastically in the theater of international conflict. Hybrid warfare, which incorporates novel tactical elements such as cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns into more traditional approaches of war, has profoundly unsettled the landscape of international conflict and global politics. This course will explore the evolving nature of hybrid warfare as well as its social, political, and legal implications.Faculty Bio
