A conceptual framework for understanding armed non-state actors (ANSAs) : strategic roles and operational dynamics / David Rudd.: D68-2/49-2014E-PDF

This is the Final Report of the Technology Investment Fund (TIF) Project entitled “A Conceptual Framework for Understanding Armed Non-state Actors (ANSAs): Strategic Roles and Operational Dynamics” (Project Code: 10az01). The Socio-cognitive Systems Section (SCSS) at Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC), Toronto Research Centre, undertook this multi-year Project in order to advance understanding of the motivation, intent, and behaviour of ANSAs. Consistent with DRDC’s support-to-operations mandate, this understanding will help the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) effectively engage these actors in future expeditionary operations.
