Non-state Threats and Future Wars
Non-state Threats and Future Wars by Robert J. Bunker, published by F. Cass in 2003, is a comprehensive examination of contemporary security challenges. This 208-page book is presented in English and aims to unite insights from defense and national security scholars alongside military and law enforcement professionals. It explores the complexities of non-state threats, including organized crime, cartels, gangs, and warlords, while also addressing theoretical frameworks relevant to future conflicts.
Readers will find a structured analysis divided into four main sections. The first section delves into theoretical perspectives, while the second provides case studies on various non-state threats. The third section focuses on counter-OPFOR strategies, discussing advanced concepts related to urban warfare and intelligence preparation. The final section features archival documents from the late 1980s and previously unpublished interviews with Chechen commanders involved in the 1994-96 conflict against Russian forces. This edition offers a detailed look at the evolving landscape of military and political challenges in the context of national and international security.
Official synopsis Publisher
The intent behind this book was to bring together a team of defence and national security scholars and real-world military and law enforcement operators to focus on the topic of “Non-State Threats and Future Wars”. The book is divided into four main sections: The first concerns theory. The second section concerns non-state threats and case studies, providing an overview of non-state threats ranging from organized crime networks to cartels, gangs and warlords. The third section is based on counter-OPFOR (opposing force) strategies which detail advanced concepts, urban battlespace environmental perceptions, weaponry, intelligence preparation, networked force structure and C41. The fourth and final section contains an archival document from the late 1987 period concerning early Fourth Epoch War theory, and never before published interviews with Chechen commanders and officers who participated in combat operations against Russian forces in the 1994-96 war.
