The Indian Ocean islands filling Australia’s western flank are now changing and growing rapidly, however, with a series of new strategic challenges that pose difficulties unaddressed by Canberra’s current strategic settings. The book sees the disconnection as derived from Australia’s history and explores how Australia found itself without influence in the Indian Ocean islands and what strategic and security hazards lie in continued indifference. Drawing on an empirical analysis of island historical and anthropological sources, archival and business investment materials, interviews and strategic pieces, the book traces a long continuation of Australian behaviours towards the region and local postcolonial imperatives. It also discusses Indo-Pacific theory and the Indian Ocean gaps peppered within it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will be useful to academics, researchers and advanced students in the fields of security and strategic studies and international relations, especially those with an interest in Australian history and foreign policy, the growing strategic competition in the Indian Ocean, AUKUS and the QUAD.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53238756278545,"sku":"NGR9781041315681","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":54066059182353,"sku":"NLS9781041315681","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781041315681.jpg?v=1791539545"},{"product_id":"russian-hybrid-and-information-warfare-book-riccardo-allegri-9781041336617","title":"Russian Hybrid and Information Warfare","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book examines the evolution of Russian hybrid warfare in the post-Soviet era through a long-term, historically grounded, and systematically integrated perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContemporary strategic studies literature often portrays hybrid warfare as an innovative approach to conflict. However, this volume demonstrates that Russia’s hybrid approach is neither new nor improvised, but the product of a strategic culture shaped across imperial, Soviet, and post-Soviet history. The book combines doctrinal analysis, close reading of primary strategic texts, and a comparative study of the major conflicts fought by the Russian Federation since 1991. Drawing on the writings of Russian and Soviet military thinkers, party-state documents and open-source military sources, the research reconstructs how non-military and non-conventional instruments gradually shifted from ad hoc wartime expedients to components of an increasingly coordinated strategic repertoire. The various case studies adopt a cross-case comparative approach to trace continuities and ruptures. The analysis reveals hybrid warfare as a structural feature of Moscow’s strategic culture – an enduring method through which Russia seeks to offset conventional limitations, exploit systemic vulnerabilities in rival states, and shape the international environment below the threshold of open escalation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to academics, researchers and advanced students in the fields of security and strategic studies, Russian\/Eurasian studies, and international relations and political science more broadly.

From this, it presents a new conceptualization of the two key contemporary transitions — energy and technology — in what is described as the “energy-resources-technology” security nexus. This new framework builds on the fact that the transition to renewables is putting energy security under strain, creating new vulnerabilities that have led to this nexus becoming one of the main battlegrounds on which hybrid warfare is carried out. In the face of these new challenges to European security, the book argues a need for Europe to revisit its strategies and collective defensive response by strengthening transatlantic and civil-military cooperation, as well as investing in dual-use technologies, to be able to globally compete at the energy-resources-technology security nexus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be a valuable resource for academics, researchers and advanced students in the fields of international security, hybrid warfare and war studies, strategic studies and international relations more broadly.
