@ARTICLE{10.21494/ISTE.OP.2024.1085, TITLE={Cognitive warfare as seen from Japan: Recent and situated concept and posture}, AUTHOR={Thomas Fassler , Mylène Hardy, }, JOURNAL={Cognitive Engineering}, VOLUME={7}, NUMBER={Issue 1}, YEAR={2024}, URL={http://www.openscience.fr/Cognitive-warfare-as-seen-from-Japan-Recent-and-situated-concept-and-posture}, DOI={10.21494/ISTE.OP.2024.1085}, ISSN={2517-6978}, ABSTRACT={Japan has recently modified its defence posture and developed a country-specific defence architecture that includes elements of cognitive warfare. The article studies Japanese government publications to analyse how the country conceptualizes cognitive warfare in relation to its security environment and positions itself as an actor for cognitive warfare through a posture of active defence. Some highlights of Japanese thinking are examined, such as the use of narratives or the emphasis on technology to "defend [the] nation at all times”.}}
