Towards a Definition of Cognitive Warfare
Abstract
Cognitive warfare is an emerging concept in the literature, linked to the development of new technologies and of knowledge on cognition, as well as the involvement of public opinion in conflicts. It is currently the subject of debate within NATO. Used to destabilize adversaries or make them "destroy themselves from the inside", it is becoming a major concern, and we need to learn how to detect it and protect ourselves against it. This paper aims to define cognitive warfare, other close concepts and its players, and to outline the issues at stake.
