Synopsis "BEYOND WEAPONS"

Beyond Weapons argues that the instrument which has organized strategic thought for five thousand years, the weapon, is being demoted from the determinant of outcomes to the executor of outcomes decided elsewhere. In its place it proposes a new unit of analysis, the conversion loop: the circuit by which a society perceives, understands, decides, fabricates, and absorbs, and whose period rather than whose inventory now sets national power. From that substitution the book derives five governing laws of the emerging contest, describes its characteristic operation as the attrition of potential, identifies its characteristic victory as displacement rather than conquest, and argues that its central danger lies not in the destination but in the approach, when a state that expects permanent subordination still possesses the means to prevent it. Written for policymakers, strategists, scholars of international relations and technology, and general readers who want more than the vocabulary of an arms race, it offers a framework, a set of testable propositions, and a concrete agenda of institutions that would make the transition survivable.
