SUMMARY:Great Decisions: The Gray Zone Dilemma – Irregular Warfare in the South China Sea
DESCRIPTION:May 19\, 2026\, 4:30 pm \nWoodstock Library\, 10 Dixon Ave.\, Woodstock\, NY \nFacilitator Michael Hauser for the World Affairs Council of the Mid-Hudson Valley.  Since World War II\, the term Irregular Warfare (IW) has become an increasingly common aspect in the study of warfare and statecraft. Comprising concepts such as guerrilla warfare\, counterterrorism\, unconventional warfare\, and counterinsurgency\, IW today is seemingly ubiquitous as major powers utilize IW strategy to exploit the “gray zone” between peace and war. This presentation will summarize the scope of IW and focus on the South China Sea as a case study for modern IW.  There is no assigned reading for this presentation\, however\, the Great Decisions materials are available for checkout from the library should you wish to read up on the topic before the talk.  No Registration Required.
