Future war
continuous conflict in an era of rising peer competitors
This monograph explores the evolving character of warfare in the 21st century, emphasizing the persistence of conflict across political, economic, informational, and military domains. Balasevicius argues that future wars will be continuous, hybrid, and multi-domain, fought simultaneously across overlapping battlefields where rising peer competitors challenge Western military dominance. The work provides strategic insights for NATO, Canada, and allied planners, highlighting the need for adaptive doctrine, resilience, and preparedness against hybrid threats.
