Project Seshat is a multinational effort to study and respond to the rising threats of "hybrid warfare" or "grey zone conflict" now targeting all democracies. These are proliferating, but as yet poorly understood. The project seeks to improve the capacity of practitioners, as well as academia, to identify and respond to these threats effectively.

New Publication:
Hybrid Warfare: Fighting Back with Whole-of-Society Tactics is a full special issue of On Track, the journal of Canada's Conference of Defence Associations Institute. With five articles by Project Seshat members, this publication follows a CDAI October 2022 webinar which marked the first time Project Seshat has been invited to address a specifically military audience. CDAI is the think tank of the Canadian Conference of Defence Associations, which together serve 400,000 active and retired members of the Canadian military.
Coming Soon:
Following Project Seshat's first in-person meeting (Montreal, July 2022) the project set an ambitious publishing agenda for 2022-2023. The Winter 2023 issue of On Track is the first element to appear in public. A companion special issue addressed to the conflict management community is now in press, with publication expected in summer 2023. Sponsored by the Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution, this special journal issue follows a full-day symposium held at Cardozo Law School in New York City in November 2022. The symposium was recorded in full and is now public. These publications together address a critical question--how our multifaceted subject can best be presented to audiences which differ widely in their orientations. A third related publication, a full casebook which will be the first teaching book publicly available, is now in preparation.
The project is now preparing for its second in-person meeting, to be held in June 2023 at the Vlerick Business School in Ghent, Belgium.
