2020 DSB Summer Study on New Dimensions of Conflict

Abstract

This study explored the means by which nations impose their political will, particularly outside the traditional threat or use of military force. This evolution of statecraft has created opportunities for new dimensions of conflict which present the United States with new opportunities to maintain hegemony and challenges to defend against vulnerabilities. The Study examined new dimensions such as the global information infrastructure, technology/intellectual property, international law and standards, influence/coercion, population (demographics, ethics, national identity), global engagement, and supply chain. Additionally, the Study also considered opportunities and challenges in existing warfare dimensions (e.g. sea and seabed).
