The ‘hybrid warfare’ concept had been coined years earlier, but became fashionable only when it was adopted and adapted by NATO in 2014, after which academic interest suddenly sky-rocketed. Academics often adopted NATO’s understanding of the concept, took for granted its fit for Russian actions, and imported its political assumptions into the academic debate. The fashionability of the term also led to bandwagoning and thus superficial engagement with both the concept and the phenomenon it was applied to. This article outlines this process and its implications for the field of Strategic Studies.

WordPress IndieMark instructions were a standardized way for developers to look at and evaluate getting started with IndieWeb using WordPress using IndieMark as a means of benchmarking their progress.

They previously existed at Getting Started on WordPress, which has since been reworked as a more basic method for getting started with WordPress.

By using WordPress on your own domain, you are already a part of the IndieWeb. Below are some suggestions to help you get started with upgrading your WordPress site to support IndieWeb philosophies.

• Getting Started

Advanced WordPress Set up is a set of additional options and/or upgrades that extend the document Getting Started on WordPress.

As in most CMSes, there are many ways to do the same or similar things. While Getting Started on WordPress is meant for general beginners to take the quickest and easiest path to IndieWeb-ifying their personal site, there are additional and alternate options for many of the moving pieces. Many of these can be found below, roughly in the same order as on the getting started page.

Advanced users and developers are more than welcome to browse through these as well as the WordPress/Plugins page. Additional guidance for portions can potentially be found on individual wiki pages for particular pieces of functionality in the IndieWeb Examples sections for members who identify as WordPress/Examples.

What is the IndieWeb?

We should all own the content we’re creating, rather than just posting to third-party content silos.Publish on your own domain, and syndicate out to silos. This is the basis of the « Indie Web » movement. – IndieWeb.org

In ‘Western Strategy’s Two Logics: Diverging Interpretations’, Lukas Milevski of Leiden University argues that whereas classical strategic theory encompasses two different logics – instrumentality and adversariality – and two different modes – decision-making and performance – in modern strategy these modes have been on diverging paths, with varying interpretations – game theory; operational art; and the ends, ways, means model – privileging one logic above the other. He makes the case for strategic studies returning to a balanced interpretation of strategy.Footnote8
