  • Why Drones Have Not Revolutionized War: The Enduring Hider-Finder Competition in Air Warfare
    Item type: Journal Article
    Calcara, Antonio; Gilli, Andrea; Gilli, Mauro; et al. (2022)
    International Security
    According to the accepted wisdom in security studies, drones have revolutionizing effects on war and world politics. In this International Security article, Antonio Calcara, Andrea Gilli, CSS' Mauro Gilli, Raffaele Marchetti and Ivan Zaccagnini contest this theory by analyzing three conflicts that featured extensive employment of drones. They conclude that drones by themselves do not produce the revolutionary effects that many have attributed to them

  • The Subversive Trilemma: Why Cyber Operations Fall Short of Expectations
    Item type: Journal Article
    Maschmeyer, Lennart (2021)
    International Security
    Many expect cyber operations to provide independent utility in both warfare and low-intensity competition, but they tend to fall short of their promise, due to the subversive trilemma of cyber operations, whereby speed, intensity, and control are negatively correlated. They thus pose a trilemma for actors because a gain in one variable tends to produce losses across the other two variables. In this International Security article, CSS' Lennart Maschmeyer provides empirical support for this argument using a case study of the Russo-Ukrainian conflict.

  • Why Rebels Stop Fighting: Organizational Decline and Desertion in Colombia's Insurgency
    Item type: Journal Article
    Nussio, Enzo; Ugarriza, Juan E. (2021)
    International Security
    The unauthorized exit from an armed organization, what we call “desertion,” is a highly consequential act. If caught, deserters may face drastic punishment, including execution. Why, then, do some members of armed groups nevertheless decide to stop fighting? In this article of the journal International Security, CSS' Enzo Nussio and Juan E. Ugarriza offer a new theoretical argument about the organizational dynamics associated with desertion, drawn from collective action theory.
