The authors illuminate how U.S. adversaries are already deploying dark forms of noopolitik-e.g., weaponized narratives, strategic deception, epistemic attacks. The authors propose new ways to fight back and discuss how the future of noopolitik might depend on what happens to the global commons-i.e., the parts of the Earth and space that fall outside national jurisdictions and to which all nations are supposed to have access. The authors expand on many of the ideas they first proposed in a 1999 RAND Corporation report titled The Emergence of Noopolitik: Toward an American Information Strategy, in which they describe the emergence of a new globe-circling realm: the noosphere. The authors explain that Earth first developed a geosphere, a geological mantle, and then a biosphere, consisting of plant and animal life. Third to develop will be the noosphere, a global "thinking circuit" and "realm of the mind"-a collective form of intelligence enabled by the digital information revolution. As the noosphere expands, it will profoundly affect statecraft; the conditions favoring traditional realpolitik strategies will erode, and the prospects for noopolitik strategies will grow. Thus, the decisive factor in today's and tomorrow's wars of ideas is bound to be "whose story wins"-the essence of noopolitik. To improve prospects for the noosphere and noopolitik, U.S. policy and strategy should, among other initiatives, treat the global commons as a pivotal issue area, uphold "guarded openness" as a guiding principle, and institute a requirement for periodic reviews of America's "information posture." 530 $a Also available on the internet via WWW in PDF format. 650 0 $a International relations. 650 0 $a Information society. 650 0 $a Telematics $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Geopolitics $z United States. 650 0 $a Information technology $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Political science. 650 0 $a Information policy $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $y 21st century. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $y 1989- 650 6 $a Relations internationales. 650 6 $a Societe informatisee. 650 6 $a Geopolitique $z Etats-Unis. 650 6 $a Technologie de l'information $x Aspect politique. 650 6 $a Information $x Politique gouvernementale $z Etats-Unis. 651 6 $a Etats-Unis $x Relations exterieures $y 21e siecle. 651 6 $a Etats-Unis $x Relations exterieures $y 1989- 650 7 $a international relations. $2 aat 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a Geopolitics $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00941045 650 7 $a Information policy $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00972596 650 7 $a Information society $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00972767 650 7 $a Information technology $x Political aspects $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00973119 650 7 $a International relations $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977053 650 7 $a Political science $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069781 650 7 $a Telematics $x Social aspects $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01146217 651 7 $a United States $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a Since 1989 $2 fast 700 1 $a Arquilla, John, $e author. 710 2 $a International Security and Defense Policy Center. 710 2 $a Rand Corporation. 830 0 $a Perspective (Rand Corporation) ; $v PE-A237-1. 856 41 $u https://doi.org/10.7249/PEA237-1 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517010434.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3D8A6320072811ED93C2E7E557ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
