TDHJ – Connecting defence scholarship, professional practice and strategic dialogue!

  • Abstract: Through its promotion and dissemination of disinformation, Russia’s practice of public diplomacy forms a close nexus with information warfare. While Russia no doubt seeks to win the hearts and minds of foreign state publics, its strategic aim in doing so is not to build sincere two-way cultural bridges but rather to subvert the target… Read more →

  • Abstract: For contemporary cyberwarfare operations, the integration of artificial intelligence presents both exceptional opportunities and difficult challenges. Following the NotPetya attack, organisations such as CrowdStrike enhanced their threat detection capabilities using AI. CrowdStrike Falcon, an endpoint protection platform, utilises machine learning algorithms to detect and respond to advanced threats in real-time. Furthermore, in the wake… Read more →

  • Abstract: The spectre of a U.S.-Iran war is haunting the world. However, it is still less likely than many think. For its part, Tehran is aware that it lacks the military capabilities and financial resources to endure a direct military confrontation with the United States. Engaging in a full-scale war with Iran would also be… Read more →

  • Abstract: The Russo-Ukrainian war has shown that the Russian Hybrid War Doctrine, in its real essence, is not about military technology at all – it is a collection of covert special operations. This war is regional in terms of territory but not in terms of its influence on global geopolitics and the development of hybrid… Read more →

  • Abstract: Cognitive warfare entails narrowing down the execution of warfare to the cognitive dimension. While presented as a new notion, cognitive warfare as a concept articulates the essence of warfare, namely changing an opponent’s attitude and will – and hence their cognition. Although the concept is not new, the resurgence in attention and relevance is… Read more →

  • Abstract: With the discovery of CRISPR-CaS9- CaS9 Technology, the Nobel Prize winner Jennifer Doudna stressed the responsibility of scientists to calibrate the accurate use of technology. This discovery has laid out immense possibilities in the field of Modern Biowarfare. Gene editing is said to play a major role in intelligentised warfare between countries such as… Read more →

  • Abstract: In the rapidly changing landscape of urban economies in India, there is a growing focus on fostering nuanced civic engagement to enhance transparency, accountability, and representation. This shift in public administration emphasises collaborative solution-building and the creation of more inclusive and sustainable policy frameworks. Against the backdrop of a rapidly growing national economy, marked… Read more →

  • Abstract: As much as the current conflict occurs on the battlefield, it is being fought in the domain of cognitive warfare. The current conflict highlights the use of cognitive warfare – to influence public support for either side. In cognitive warfare, the human mind becomes the battlefield. The aim is to change what people think… Read more →

  • Abstract: Türkiye’s geopolitical stance is evolving, particularly due to its embrace of Neo-Ottomanism. It potentially causes repercussions within the NATO alliance and could affect the Balkans. Several symbolic actions, like the reconversion of Hagia Sophia, Türkiye’s reluctance towards Sweden’s NATO application, and Erdogan’s nationalist rhetoric, seem to signify a pivot towards Neo-Ottomanism. Problem statement: How… Read more →

  • Abstract: The global West, and Europe in particular, are beset by the consequences of self-doubt and the vagaries of the peace dividend. These manifest in Russian intransigence and the less-than-resolute response to Russian aggression in Ukraine. However, this need not be the case. Russia has been emboldened to act recklessly because it seems that nobody… Read more →
