An up-to-date analysis of cyberwarfare and hybrid warfare against the backdrop of the present conflict between Russia and Ukraine. This volume explores and dissects Russia's efforts to leverage modern hybrid warfare against the West including cyber operations, operations in the information environment, energy politics as well as conventional military operations during the Post-Soviet Era with a particular emphasis on the Russian Ukraine War (2022- ). ““In this magnificent book, Ryan C. Maness and Brandon Valeriano thoroughly examine the Russian approach to hybrid warfare, including cyber operations, influence operations, and coercive energy policy. They demonstrate that the fundamental nature of warfare remains the same, in contrast to common speculation by others that hybrid warfare represents a massive revolution in modern warfare. Their study is essential reading for analysts of modern warfare, military technology, or the Ukraine War.”” ― Stephen L. Quackenbush, Professor and Director of Defense and Strategic Studies, University of Missouri, USA ““Professors Maness and Valeriano make a compelling argument about why Russia's hybrid warfare strategy against Ukraine and its Western allies has failed. Russia's efforts to use AI, electronic warfare, cyber warfare, and coercive energy policies have not altered its conventional warfare strategy, nor improved the country's chances of success. A must read for anyone interested in the modern landscape of war and technology."” ― Sara McLaughlin Mitchell, Professor of Political Science, University of Iowa, USA ““By comparing the use of cyber operations, technological innovation, informational campaigns, and the coercion of energy politics on the conflict in Ukraine, Ryan Maness and Brandon Valeriano demonstrate that there are only limited coercive abilities of hybrid warfare. The book's carefully thought and executed analysis demonstrates the limitations that the Russian military and the Russian state have faced in successfully executing their plans for the wholescale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Modern Hybrid Warfare is an excellent work showing that 'adaptation and coordination are the keys to modern warfare, as they always have been.' It is highly recommended for students, experts and policy makers of Russian politics, conflict studies and international security who want to learn more about constraints and opportunities of modern hybrid warfare.”” ― Ivan Dinev Ivanov, Associate Professor of Public and International Affairs, University of Cincinnati, USA Ryan C. Maness (Ph.D., University of Illinois, Chicago 2013) is an assistant professor and the academic associate for the curriculum on information strategy and political warfare (698) at the Naval Postgraduate School. He is also the director of the DoD Information Strategy Research Center at NPS. His research includes operations in the information environment, specifically in cyberspace, cyber strategy, and power dynamics and interactions among states in cyberspace. The center will be holding its third annual Symposium on Information Strategy and Political Warfare (SISPoW) at NPS 28-30 June 2023. Current research includes the collection of all state-initiated cyber incidents, cyber-enabled information operations, and information campaigns for the years 2000-2020, called the Dyadic Cyber Incident and Campaign Dataset (DCID) 2.0. Other current research is measuring escalation within and through cyberspace by capturing DIME events enacted with cyber operations, and the target state's responses to these combine Brandon Valeriano served as a Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Marine Corps University and Senior Advisor to the Cyberspace Solarium Commission 2.0.
