The Strategic Aspects of Information Warfare

Abstract

Events of recent years made the issue of information warfare the central of attention, which, with the emergence of modern information societies, became a fundamental security threat to the states. Today, the information environment became a global arena where states and non-state actors continuously fight with each other in order to further their strategic interests. In this paper, I will try to paint a comprehensive picture of these conflicts, the nature of their complex information operations and their impact on the public sector.
