In 2025, the effort Exeter University Press A landmark monograph will be published Tactical and Strategic Insights from the Russo-Ukrainian War: Western Security and Defence in the 21st Centuryedited by eminent scholars Thomas-Durell Young (USA) and Prof. Dr. Jarosław Gryz (Poland). The co-author of this comprehensive study is our lecturer Dr Daniel Damian Kasprzycki.
A few words about the monograph
The monograph, consisting of 12 chapters, is the result of collaboration between experts from all over the world, specialising in security and defence issues. The publication provides geopolitical, economic, social and military analyses of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict to understand its polymorphous nature and multidimensional impact on the international security system.
Among the authors is also Dr Daniel Damian Kasprzycki, who, together with Prof P. Mickiewicz, drafted the chapter entitled 'The importance of the topic'. The Black Sea as an Area of Military Operations during the Russian 'Special Operation'. The text focuses on a strategic and operational analysis of the importance of the Black Sea as a fundamental area of military operations in the Eastern European theatre of war.
Important themes and research methodology
The monograph undertakes an in-depth exploration of, among other things:
- the transformation of operational and tactical paradigms and adaptation of the parties to the conflict to the requirements of a network-centric operational environment, typical of fifth-generation wars;
- personnel and material losses, analysed by OSINT methodology during the first 500 days of the conflict;
- impact of cognitive activities (information warfare, disinformation, social manipulation) on the perception of the conflict by societies and third countries;
- air and sea components, which to date have remained under-researched in the literature;
- planning and execution of military operations in urbanised environments, characteristic of contemporary hybrid conflicts.
The holistic approach to the study of the conflict has led to conclusions that are not only of high cognitive value, but also of application in the context of the further development of security strategies.
Importance of publications
Tactical and Strategic Insights from the Russo-Ukrainian War is a unique publication that provides a new perspective on contemporary armed conflicts and their impact on global security. The monograph will be an invaluable resource for analysts, researchers, students security-related majors and those concerned with the practical aspects of defence strategies.
