ABSTRACT
Media and the information technology (IT) revolution are radically altering the way societies interact – as well as the way that states (and anti-state partisans) fight wars. In military-technological terms, it is clear that the continuing fusion of the computer, satellite communications and media revolutions has radically ‘improved’ warfighting capabilities, even if the IT revolution has not fundamentally altered the geostrategic and political-economic rationale for war itself (Gardner 2005, 2007a).
