State & Non-State Actors

In this episode of The World of Intelligence, I dive deep into the evolving landscape of state and non-state actors with Sean Corbett, a former Royal Air Force senior intelligence officer and current co-chair of the Senior Advisory Group for Janes. We explore the increasingly blurred lines between these two categories, particularly in light of recent geopolitical shifts involving nations like China and Russia. Our conversation addresses how traditional definitions are becoming less relevant, and what this means for national security strategies. We also examine the complex nature of modern threats, including the role of ambiguity in warfare and the need for innovative intelligence approaches. Join us as we unpack these critical issues shaping our understanding of global security dynamics.
