'''5th Generation Warfare''' ('''5GW''') is a modern strategic concept describing conflict conducted primarily through non‑kinetic, influence‑based means rather than traditional military operations. It focuses on shaping perceptions the mechanisims such as [[Information Warefare]] (information or [[disinformation]]), narratives, economics, and social stability without openly declaring war or engaging in conventional combat.

'''5th Generation Warfare''' ('''5GW''') is a modern strategic concept describing conflict conducted primarily through non‑kinetic, influence‑based means rather than traditional military operations. It focuses on shaping perceptions through mechanisims such as [[Information Warefare]] to control the narratives such as [[Operation Mockingbird]]; paid protesters and political actors<ref>[[Operation BOOT]]; [[Operation AJAX]]</ref>; maniplulation of [[economics]] to influence both the individual and societal priorities and social behaviours; control of the educational systems and institutions to perpetuate desired thought; funding of research grants to justify the desired narrative; unofficial alliance with [[Facism|big business]] to perform desired tasks not subject to public scrutiny; 'donations', 'home visits' or 'blackmail' to control politicians; the application of the [[Economic Hitman]] model<ref>[[Perkins, John]], ''The New Confessions of an Economic Hitman''</ref>; all without openly declaring war on the target or engaging in conventional combat.  The sole doctrine of '''5GW''' is to make war on a target population without the target even realising that they are at war.
