Social conflict

DDC classification:

303.62 Fau v.19

Summary: Assessments lie at the core of success or failure in any major conflict. Yet, recent experience is overwhelming testimony to the myopia of leaders and, indeed, of the tremendous void that has come into existence, globally, in military doctrine and strategic thinking. Worse, the political discourse remains mired in obfuscation, in ideology-led dogma, in denial, and in the sheer and deliberate opportunism of short-term partisan political postures. It is only a continuous study of the specific details and dynamics of the forces and conditions operating on the ground that can yield a sufficient under standing of, and framework of response to, the rising terrorism and sub-conventional wars of our age. It is to such study that Faultlines is dedicated.

Assessments lie at the core of success or failure in any major conflict. Yet, recent experience is overwhelming testimony to the myopia of leaders and, indeed, of the tremendous void that has come into existence, globally, in military doctrine and strategic thinking. Worse, the political discourse remains mired in obfuscation, in ideology-led dogma, in denial, and in the sheer and deliberate opportunism of short-term partisan political postures.

It is only a continuous study of the specific details and dynamics of the forces and conditions operating on the ground that can yield a sufficient under standing of, and framework of response to, the rising terrorism and sub-conventional wars of our age. It is to such study that Faultlines is dedicated.
