“Competing for advantage means accruing power and influence in such a way that the adversary’s plans cannot be realized. This volume focuses primarily on appreciating the Chinese Communist Party’s worldview, interests, and political culture while promoting a strategic vision for the future—a future where SOF will need to reinterpret their value from providing a military effect to providing a political effect through military means.”
The JSOU Press is pleased to announce its latest publication “Competing for Advantage: The Chinese Communist Party, Statecraft, and Special Operations,” edited and with an introduction by Dr. David Ellis. This edited volume highlights key challenges the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) faces in its rise and contextualizes the potential contributions of special operations to compete for advantage based on the CCP’s interests and vulnerabilities.
