Civil War Comes to the West, Part II: Strategic Realities

David Betz - KingrCOs College London, Department of War Studies

Betz, David, rCLCivil War Comes to the West, Part II: Strategic Realities,rCY Military Strategy Magazine, Volume 10, Issue 2, spring 2025, pages 6-16. https://doi.org/10.64148/msm.v10i2.1

David Betz is Professor of War in the Modern World in the Department of
War Studies, King's College London. He has wide interests in strategic
and military affairs but has written extensively on insurgency and counterinsurgency, information warfare, and strategic communications. His
most recent book is The Guarded Age: Fortifications in the 21st Century (Cambridge: Polity, 2024).

This is the second of two articles on the dawning of an uncomfortable new strategic reality for the West, which is that the primary threat to its security and well-being today is not external but internalrCospecifically, civil war.[i] In the first essay, I explained the reasons that this
situation has arisen: a combination of culturally fractured societies, economic stagnation, elite overreach and a collapse of public confidence
in the ability of normal politics to solve problems, and ultimately the realisation by anti-status quo groups of plausible strategies of attack
based on systems disruption of vulnerable critical infrastructure. In
this article I expound on the likely shape that civil war will take and
the strategies that might be employed to minimise and mitigate the damage
that will entail.
