Journal Article
The end of war as we knew it? Insurgency, counterinsurgency and lessons from the forgotten history of early terror networks
2007
Overview
The growing potency of networked organisations has manifested itself over the past decade in the fresh energy evident among terrorists and insurgents-most notably al-Qaida and Hezbollah. Networks have even shown a capacity to wage war toe-to-toe against nation-states-with some success, as can be seen in the outcome of the First Russo-Chechen War (1994 - 96). The range of choices available to networks thus covers an entire spectrum of conflict, posing the prospect of a significant blurring of the lines between insurgency, terror and war. While history provides some useful examples to stimulate strategic thought about such problems, coping with networks that can fight in so many different ways-sparking myriad, hybrid forms of conflict-is going to require some innovative thinking to go along with more traditional introspection about the relevant lessons of history.
