SUMMARY:Unconventional Deterrence in Australian Strategy
DESCRIPTION:Join us and Dr. Andrew Maher discuss “The strategic logic of proxy wars: addressing policy for competition”. A former officer\, now senior lecturer at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Canberra\, Maher specializes in irregular warfare and theorizing special operations. During his presentation\, he will discuss his upcoming book Riding Tigers\, based on his dissertation “The Strategic Logic of Proxy Warfare: Addressing Australia’s Policy for Competition”. Maher was supervised by David Kilcullen\, among others. \nToday’s global security environment is characterised by great power contests. As we know from previous histories of strategic competition between states\, such heightened rivalry routinely manifests in violence perpetrated by proxy forces—a dynamic intended either to avoid war\, or to assist in its prosecution. Riding Tigers explores the use of proxies in arenas of international strategic competition characterised by force. It looks at why\, where and when proxy warfare is waged\, examining how states seek to employ proxies\, to cajole them to act on their behalf\, and then to ensure their compliance. \nToday\, states wishing to avoid war\, yet still to pursue competition\, often turn to proxy warfare as an attractive low-cost option. This policy response is informed by history\, from Europe’s Napoleonic-era competition and the Great Game during the age of empire\, to interwar competition in East Asia and\, later in the twentieth century\, the global Cold War. Proxy warfare is not the preserve of major powers\, but a tool of statecraft available to all. \nAndrew Maher illuminates current trends\, deriving a strategic logic to the proxy wars that will continue to influence today’s geopolitical competitions—and tomorrow’s. \nProgram:\n1745 – Registration & networking drinks (ticket includes canapés) \n1830 – Dr. Andrew Maher address \n1930 – Lecture concludes. Option to stay and join friends for dinner.
