Question: Is the correct name for this category “Influence Warfare?”

Posted on May 8, 2008 by purpleslog

Is Influence Warfare the correct name for the category that includes the following?

– Strategic Communications

– Public Diplomacy

– Public Affairs

– Psyops/Morale Operations

– White Propaganda

– Black Propaganda

– Political Warfare

– Covert Action to turn (and run) an individual into an agent-in-place or agent-of-influence

– Deception

– Disinformation

– Memetic Engineering

– Positioning

– Brand Management



– I know there is overlap.
– I assume there is a counter-X to each of the above that is part of influence warfare.
– I do not include the technical actions of co-opting information and communication technology.

Am I missing anything?

Should I use a different name? Filed under: 4GW, InforWar and InfoPeace, National Security | 2 Comments »

LGF Link: “Al-Qaeda As Brand Name”

Posted on January 28, 2007 by purpleslog


Branding is coupled to marketing. The whole thing seems very meme-ish.

I haven’t had time or desire to blog much recently, but it might be interesting to do a post inter-relating branding, marketing, memetic engineering, information warfare, and then with 4GW and/or 5GW.
