| Synopsis: |
Since the events of 11 September 2001, insurgency - an organised movement aimed at the overthrow of a constituted government, the pursuance of specific political objectives, or the control of a specific territory through the use of subversion and armed conflict - has moved into academic focus, and insurgency and terrorism now top the international security agenda. The South African Army, an important role-player on the African continent, is preparing itself for the future and has commissioned this study on counterinsurgency, which aims to aid the likely future threat environment. The book looks at current and future trends in insurgency; counterinsurgency in Africa and Afghanistan; guerrilla warfare; peacekeeping; the need for cultural intelligence; and preparing for hybrid wars. |
