‘Proxy Actors, Psyops & Irregular Forces: The Future of Modern Warfare?’ Workshop

A workshop on ‘Proxy Actors, Psyops & Irregular Forces: The Future of Modern Warfare?’ was held by The Scottish Centre for War Studies, University of Glasgow, Scotland 22-23 June 2015. The thematic synopsis provided for the workshop was as follows:

Since 1991 questions have grown both around the West’s ‘New Wars’ (Mϋnkler, 2002/05) and over the future of warfare in general, given both the revolution in technology (RMA) increasingly facilitating the undermining of the traditional parameters of national sovereignty (drones, intelligence gathering), and also an increased focus upon the perceived threat of trans-national terrorism and organized crime.
