Author Description

Since The 1980s, We Have Witnessed Rapid Changes In A World Characterized By A Neo-liberal Economy, Increased Human Migration, And Information Technologies Developing At An Unprecedented Pace. These Transformations Are Putting Stress On Modern State Structures And Have Allowed Non-state Players To Enter The Heart Of Global Consciousness. These New Entities Pose New Security Challenges, Including Ethnic Conflicts, Civil Wars, The Use Of Robotics-based Autonomous Weapons, And Terrorist Attacks Both In The Physical Sphere And Cyberspace. The Articles In This Memorandum, Authored By Former And Present Neubauer Research Associates At The Institute For National Security Studies (inss), Assert That The Political, Economic, And Social Changes, As Well As The Challenges To Security Now Faced By The West (including Israel), Converge To Create A Different Agenda For Analyzing Security And Strategy Issues, Forcing Us To Redefine The Very Concept Of National Security. -- Back Cover.
