Thank you for the post; I hope I can live up to it. After reading through your posts yesterday I put War & Health directly on my reading list.

You got yourself at least one new daily reader!

Thanks for the recommendation there, much appreciated. We are trying to expand the usual remit of security/defence blogging at CTLab and the relative newness of the global comms networks is obviously of great significance. We’re also attempting to bring in other perspectives on conflict, particularly from the social sciences, which have perhaps been somewhat marginalised in the past.

The terrain of conflict, and the human experience of it, is indeed complex, so we feel we need to draw expertise and experience from all quarters in order to both understand it and, potentially, to influence its prosecution and practice for the better. I’m glad you’re finding CTLab interesting and hopefully useful, and we of course welcome your input into discussions as the endeavour picks up speed.
