Hybrid Wars: The Indirect Adaptive Approach to Regime Change by Andrew Korybko
#1
The official debut of my book "Hybrid Wars: The Indirect Adaptive Approach To Regime Change" will be available for free PDF download on Monday, 17 August, at my partner sites Fort Russ, Center for Research on Globalization, Center for Syncretic Studies, and Oriental Review. The affiliated links will be posted at that time, but until then, here's the formal preview of what to expect:

Hybrid Wars: The Indirect Adaptive Approach to Regime Change

Автор: Andrew Korybko
Издательство: RPFU
ISBN: 978-5-209-06595-1
Год: 2015

Quote:The object of research is US grand strategy and the new patterned approach to regime change is the subject. The book restricts itself towards only analyzing the Color Revolution and Unconventional Warfare aspects of the Adaptive Approach, believing them to be a new theory of warfare in and of themselves. The fusion of these two can stand alone from the third step of military interference, and it will be argued that this hybrid may be more preferable than expanding the destabilization operation to Humanitarian Intervention/Responsibility to Protect. The structural events in Syria and Ukraine serve as the case studies for testing this new theory, and it will be taken for a given that the reader has some level of pre-existing knowledge about these situations. The book aims to elaborate upon and analyze the evolving US regime change template and method of warfare first described at the Moscow Conference on International Security 2014, as well as showing that the combination of Color Revolutions and Unconventional Warfare represents a new theory of state destabilization that is ready for strategic deployment all across the world.

Fascinating - an extract:

Quote:Chapter 1.1.5: The Eurasian Balkans

Zbigniew Brzezinski, the former National Security Advisor to Jimmy Carter and godfather of the Mujahedeen11, wrote the "The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and its Geostrategic Imperatives" in 1997. In this famous work, he outlined how the US can preserve its unipolar dominance across Eurasia, specifically by utilizing something that he termed the "Eurasian Balkans". He defines it as such:

"The Eurasian Balkans form the inner core of that oblong (portions of southeastern Europe, Central Asia and parts of South Asia, the Persian Gulf area, and the Middle East)…not only are its political entities unstable, but they tempt and invite the intrusion of more powerful neighbors, each of whom is determined to oppose the region's domination by another. It is this familiar combination of a power vacuum and power suction that justifies the appellation Eurasian Balkans'"

Brzezinski essentially expanded the idea of the Rimland/Shatterbelt to include the newly independent former Soviet republics of Central Asia and the Caucasus. This places the "ethnic cauldron", as he terms it, right on Russia's doorstep. He then borrowed from Pilsudski to include peripheral strategic destabilization within the Eurasian Balkans as a possible method for weakening the Russian core and preserving American hegemony. This is also envisioned as preventing the collusion of continental powers that could threaten American control of Eurasia.
