Russian Full Spectrum Conflicts and information warfare as Complex Adaptive Systems: the 2014 Crimean case study / Allegri, Riccardo   Journal Article

Summary/Abstract With the illegal Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014, there has been increasing talk of hybrid warfare. However, due to its wide use, this term has been emptied of its meaning. Because of this, the Full Spectrum Conflict (FLC) concept will be adopted. Operations that employ asymmetrical tactics are not extraneous to Russian strategic thinking and have various characteristics that allow them to be traced back to complexity theory and in particular to Complex Adaptive Systems. A similar argument also applies to Information Warfare, one of the most important tools of Full Spectrum Conflicts. Starting from Clausewitz, we will try to describe war, the modern FSCs, and Information Warfare as Complex Adaptive Systems. Then we will try to demonstrate how, by controlling the information flow during the Russian annexation of Crimea, Moscow applied complexity to the adversary on the one hand and stabilized the Crimean social system on the other.
