On Sept. 19, 2023, the Routledge Handbook of the Future of Warfare will be published, providing a comprehensive, problem- and practice-oriented overview of the future of warfare.
The publication is a collection of specialist contributions from leading scholars in the field. The work is prognostic rather than futuristic, highlighting identifiable trends, key developments, and issues without neglecting lessons from the past. By linking the past to the present to provide a glimpse of the future, the handbook offers a broad view of the future of warfare and will thus be of indispensable value to researchers, students, and military practitioners.
As one of the contributing authors, Dr. Enrico Fels, Managing Director of CASSIS, takes a realistic look at the complexity of rivalries between great powers in Chapter 33 with his expert contribution on "Prospects of Great Power Rivalry: Escaping the Tragedy?" and predicts what can be expected in the foreseeable future in terms of competing great powers and what future lines of conflict are most likely to emerge between them.
