Abstract:

Beyond the Pale: Designing Military Decision-Making Anew gives contemporary military strategists tools based on revolutionary approaches to adapt to and succeed in complex environments where traditional institutionalized approaches are insufficient. A single, entirely consuming war paradigm governs the military force, discouraging any operator to think or act outside of its imposed limits. Yet in contemporary practice, militaries using modern decision-making methodologies are increasingly frustrated, confused, or defeated due to complex security contexts not conforming to such methodological form and function.
