Politics by many other means: the comparative strategic advantages of operational domains/ Jon R. Lindsay and Erik Gartzke

By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextPublication details: 2022Subject(s): Online resources: In: The Journal of Strategic Studies Vol 45 No.5, October 2022, pp. 743-776 (98)Summary: The land, sea, air, space, and cyber domains have distinct operational characteristics. Specialization in the means of using or threatening force is not just a technical issue because choices to use different kinds of military instruments have political consequences. Conventional and nuclear capabilities in these domains have comparative advantages and disadvantages for three general types of strategy - coercion, warfighting, and deception. More complex strategies that cross or combine domains may achieve force-multiplying synergies or create significant trade-offs that affect military and political performance. This article describes the strategic constraints and opportunities posed by specialized force structures.
