Last updated: 2016-02-14. Some old JFQ links are broken due to JFQ having been moved in Q1/2014; I still need to fix the links.

Below are selected publications on (military) philosophy, policy and strategy in the digital domain. The list does not include other topics. (If you’re interested in privacy/surveillance: Snowden-documents can be found at http://cryptome.org/2013/11/snowden-tally.htm, https://www.eff.org/nsa-spying/nsadocs, and the National Security Archive at GWU at http://www2.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB436/.)

Selected NATO CCD-CoE publications are listed at the bottom. Access CCD-CoE’s Publication Library for all available publications.

I will keep this post updated. Contact me at mrkoot[at]gmail[dot]com with your suggestions, broken links, et cetera.
