The Defense and the National Interest (DNI) website is a massive archive of works on many aspects of modern warfare and geopolitics. New articles are posted on the DNI blog.
I have developed a simple typology to show the relationship of the many works on modern warfare (a work in progress), to help see who is writing about what part of the puzzle. This has evolved into a fitst cut at describing a solution to 4GW. These are the first steps in a long series.
- A solution to 4GW — the introduction
- How to get the study of 4GW in gear
- Arrows in the Eagle’s claw — solutions to 4GW
- Arrows in the Eagle’s claw — 4GW analysts
- Visionaries point the way to success in the age of 4GW
- 4GW: A solution of the first kind - Robots!
- 4GW: A solution of the second kind – Shawn Brimley has provided an example of a solution of the second kind with “A Grand Strategy of Sustainment”. It is good, but we need to move on; solutions of the second kind do us little good.
- 4GW: A solution of the third kind – Don Vandergriff is one of the very few today implementing solutions of the third kind.
