Conquering a new domain: explaining great power competition in cyberspace / Domingo, Francis C   Journal Article
Domingo, Francis C Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article explains why powerful states develop capabilities for warfare in cyberspace. It argues that despite the apparent limited strategic utility of cyberspace, powerful states develop cyber capabilities to compete for military dominance in the international system. This argument is best explored using a neorealist framework because it provides the most compelling explanation for the competitive behavior of states in cyberspace. Three key implications can be derived from the study: the proliferation of capabilities for warfare in cyberspace is inevitable; powerful states will still dominate cyberspace; and cyberattacks may escalate to kinetic attacks due to the uncertainties regarding existing cyber capabilities.

contexts of strategy as a guide for defense planning in the Philippines / Domingo, Francis C   Article
Domingo, Francis C Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Efforts toward developing an independent and credible Philippine defense policy were revived when Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III was elected President of the Philippines in 2010. President Aquino renewed the military modernization program in 2012 and emphasized the necessity of a “minimum credible defense posture.” Given the modernization efforts of the government, this article aims to contribute to the development of the concept of minimum credible defense posture by exploring how theory contributes to defense planning. It argues that the contexts of strategy are useful in planning for national defense because these contexts can provide a conceptual framework for defense planners. It proceeds in three parts: the opening section reviews the literature on defense planning; the second surveys the context of developing strategies as discussed in the General Theory of Strategy; and the last provides a definition of minimum credible defense and applies the context of developing strategies to the case of the Philippines.

Problem of expertise in strategic studies / Domingo, Francis C   Article
Domingo, Francis C Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Strategic geniuses are natural strategic thinkers even without much guidance. While the complexity of strategy makes it extremely difficult to formulate and execute, geniuses like Prussian General Carl von Clausewitz or Chinese General Sun Tzu were successful in developing strategies that are still relevant today. However, as strategic history suggests, military strategists do not need to be geniuses to succeed in creating decisive strategies.1 Strategists only need sufficient expertise to be able to outthink and outmanoeuvre their adversaries. Regrettably, strategic expertise has been elusive because existing strategic education and training has not provided the skills and knowledge that are necessary for developing the potential of future strategists. This problem is manifested by the clear absence of academic literature on strategic education and the unreliable performance of public officials.
