LSI Faculty Fellows Brad Allenby and Joel Garreau, Co-directors of the Weaponized Narrative Initiative of the Center on the Future of War, yesterday published an article titled Weaponized Narrative is the New Battlespace. The authors note that traditional military dominance is insufficient to maintain superpower status and that the real threat to any such prominence is the “weaponized narrative” — or bad-mouthing — which they better define and dissect in terms of reach, enabling characteristics and implications.
