WarPod Ep #16 | The Remote Warfare Paradox
Jolle Demmers and Lauren Gould discuss the Remote Warfare Paradox on the ORG Warpod podcast
About the Project
The Intimacies of Remote Warfare project aims to inform the public about the intimate realities of the remote wars waged in their names.
Remote warfare is a form of military interventionism characterised by a shift away from “boots on the ground” and towards using airstrikes, partner forces and private contractors to counter threats from a distance. This physical withdrawal should not evade scrutiny, or we risk misjudging the complex and interconnected nature of contemporary conflicts.
Here you will find our own research output and a variety of other publications and media we have been inspired by in our investigations into the Intimacies of Remote Warfare.
