Description
The Defender's Dilemma: Identifying and Deterring Gray-Zone Aggression National security threats facing the West are changing, with hostile governments increasingly using non-military tools to attack liberal democracies. Gray-zone aggression, including subversive economics, coercion, and cyberattacks, can be difficult to identify and tackle. In this book, international security expert Elisabeth Braw offers a sustained analysis of these tactics and presents strategies for better defense against them. Braw argues that gray-zone aggression weakens liberal democracies, which are open societies and connected to the rest of the world through globalization. She discusses the breadth of this type of aggression and proposes strategies that involve not just governments, but also civil society, a largely untapped resource. This book provides a valuable analysis of a pressing global security issue and offers practical advice for those seeking to protect themselves and their communities.
