Rethinking Cyber War: A Critical Analysis of Thomas Rid

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This critical analysis evaluates Thomas Rid's thesis in "Cyber War Will Not Take Place," which argues that cyber operations do not fulfil Clausewitzian criteria for war. It supports Rid's overall assertion while exploring nuances and limitations in his argument. Despite the compelling nature of Rid's claim that cyber war as a standalone phenomenon is unlikely, the analysis underscores the complementary role of cyber operations in modern warfare. It highlights their strategic implications within the broader framework of hybrid conflict.
