The West is currently experiencing an information war, and major setbacks have included: 'fake news'; disinformation campaigns; the manipulation of users of social media; the dissonance of hybrid warfare; and even accusations of 'state capture'. Nevertheless, the West has begun to comprehend the reality of what is happening, and it is now in a position defend itself. In this volume, scholars, information practitioners, and military professionals define this new war and analyse its shape, scope, and direction. Collectively, they indicate how media policies, including social media, represent a form of information strategy, how information has become the 'centre of gravity' of operations, and why the further exploitation of data (by scale and content) by adversaries can be anticipated. For the West, being first with the truth, being skilled in cyber defence, and demonstrating virtuosity in information management are central to resilience and success.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will be of much interest to students of strategic studies, information warfare, propaganda studies, cyber-security, and International Relations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Timothy Clack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367496518\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367496517\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/11\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Timothy Clack","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43943890059519,"sku":"9780367496517","price":48.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_62ad4898-efc8-49f5-98df-fd743b8ee0b1.jpg?v=1681500606","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-world-information-war-timothy-clack-9780367496517","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
