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 (available at the above link), 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:
The above 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 intended as the first teaching book on hybrid warfare to be publicly available, is now in preparation. The book is based in eight test cases the project developed in 2020-22 (not public at this time), along with almost 70 case commentaries designed to reveal how our perceptions of a hybrid warfare / grey zone attack may be influenced by our separate professional (and life) "lenses".
Also see:
The initial phases of Project Seshat are outlined in the project's original publication, an article in the Fall 2020 issue of Negotiation Journal:
Hybrid Warfare, International Negotiation, and an Experiment in "Remote Convening"
Further detail is provided at this site's Background page. An additional 2023 article, by project members Andrea Schneider and Chris Honeyman, is directed to the specific interests of lawyers committed to constructive management of conflict. Advocates’ and Neutrals’ Roles in a New Type of Conflict—the Private and Public Crises of Hybrid Warfare was published in a journal of the New York State Bar.
The project presented sessions at the 2021 (virtual) and 2022 (Ottawa) conferences of the International Association for Conflict Management, each featuring several of the project's experts. For those interested in the "nuts and bolts" of recent discoveries in grey zone conflict / hybrid warfare, please see the 2021 Q&A.
Finally, there is a growing body of background reading, by Project Seshat members and others. The list which follows includes selected book chapters on related issues in intractable conflict and "wicked problems" in conflict management generally, from Project Seshat's predecessor Canon of Negotiation and Rethinking Negotiation Teaching projects. It also includes selected other works specifically about hybrid warfare and its practitioners. The list will be updated from time to time.

...there is no longer any distinction between what is or is not the battlefield. Spaces in nature...are battlefields, but social spaces such as...politics, economics, culture, and the psyche are also battlefields...[Warfare] can use violence, or it can be nonviolent. It can be a confrontation between professional soldiers, or one between newly emerging forces consisting primarily of ordinary people or experts.
