Book Synopsis

This book advocates for a novel doctrine of âtotal lawfareâ as part of a comprehensive approach to modern hybrid warfare.

The book begins by introducing the military concept of âlimited lawfareâ in the context of modern geopolitical conditions. It proceeds to set out a conceptual history of lawfare in the West, highlighting conceptual shortcomings and NATOâs limited capabilities in this branch of hybrid warfare. It then provides a comparative case study and strategic threat assessment of the Chinese concept of âunrestricted lawfareâ. Against this, the book grounds an ethical doctrine of âtotal lawfareâ within the Western jurisprudential tradition and translates this into practice as a key pillar of modern defense strategy under the rule of law. The book concludes by advocating for a Thielian âNew Defenseâ industry centered upon âtotal lawfareâ as a legitimate and effective Western response to enemy aggression.

The book will be of interest to academics, policy-makers, and students working in the fields of lawfare, jurisprudence, and military law.
