Employ standard essay form: clear, logical, and spare
presentation; consistent and professional form. Be
sure to analyze the underlying assumptions of arguments being debated. Use IN-TEXT
CITATIONS in
referencing your sources. Include complete bibliographic data on your sources.
Sources must include at
least two required readings and can include outside sources (i.e., books,
scholarly journals, respected
dailies, and weeklies). With American conventional military superiority in most
regional theatres, aspiring peer challengers and rogue regimes have adapted to
compete in new ways, “designing around” American deterrence by employing tactics that fall short of
direct
military conflict to avoid escalation. Russia’s efforts to sow discord in national
elections throughout NATO member countries,
the use of disinformation and online trollfarms, cyberattacks, pipeline politics and other economic coercion, and the use
of
private military companies are just the latest in a series of new challenges
called“gray zone” conflict or “hybrid warfare.” In an essay, examine how Russia use
these activities to weaken the West and leverage its own influence in the world. How
should the US and Europeans respond?
