The world is changing. Recent events such as COVID 19 and the Russo-Ukrainian war have strongly repositioned world politics. These events have highlighted underlying adversities and rifts. However, even in the absence of these events, the world functions as a whole, better known as globalization. It includes collaboration between states, and a controlled flow of information. With competition, states outdo each other in classical ways, often indulging in subterfuge or malice with regard to information as the essential knowledge for overcoming competition. Throughout history, such cases have been legion and have continued to accumulate. This book retraces the problematic of economic warfare by placing it in a context of informational domination. The information we’re talking about here is competitive knowledge, the added value of knowledge that enables a company to outmaneuver the competition or position itself on the economic chessboard.
