Mark O'Mara: We have people who have visions of narrow spectra. What we don't have, and this, unfortunately, is going to be really, as much asnoything else, a task for our political leadership. It's not any of these are something that no one has thought of before, but they haven't necessarily realized that what they're holding is actually just one part of the jigl. I came wha. Well, on on that balance note, then let's move to audience questions. Since it's your turn everyone, enough from me too to ask mark, whetever you like. And thank you.
Traditional conflict – fought with guns, bombs, and drones – has become almost too expensive to wage, too unpopular at home, and too difficult to manage. So nations have innovated. Russia wages hybrid warfare on Ukraine. The US threatens Iran with further sanctions. China spends billions buying political influence abroad. The world seems to be heading for a new era of permanent low-level conflict, often unnoticed, undeclared and unending. Mark Galeotti is Honorary Professor at UCL and a specialist in politics, criminology, security studies, international relations and anthropology. His recent book, The Weaponisation of Everything, is a ground-breaking survey of this new way of war. Joining Mark to discuss the book and his work is Carl Miller, Research Director of the Centre for the Analysis of Social Media at Demos.
