Andrew --

        I'm guessing you were thinking of John Arquilla, who teaches at the Naval Postgraduate Center in Monterey, CA. He's thought more about these issues than anyone I know. Much of his work has been published by Rand -- I've copied in some citations below.

Arquilla, John, et al. The advent of netwar. Santa Monica, CA: Rand, 1996.

Arquilla, John, et al. Swarming & the future of conflict. Santa Monica, CA: Rand, 2000.

Arquilla, John, et al. The emergence of noopolitik : toward an American information strategy. Santa Monica, CA: Rand, 1999.

Arquilla, John, et al. In Athena's camp : preparing for conflict in the information age. Santa Monica, Calif.: Rand, 1997.

Khalilzad, Zalmay, et al. Strategic appraisal : the changing role of information in warfare. Santa Monica, CA: Rand, 1999.

Schwartzstein, Stuart J. D., and Center for Strategic and International Studies (Washington D.C.). The information revolution and national security : dimensions and directions. Significant issues series, v. 18, no. 3. Washington, D.C.: Center for Strategic & International Studies, 1996.

Stocker, Gerfried, and Christine Schöpf. InfoWar. Wien ; New York: Springer, 1998.

        You might also try David Ronfeldt. See for instance Ronfeldt, David F., and Arroyo Center. The Zapatista social netwar in Mexico. Santa Monica, Calif.: Rand, 1998.

        Sounds like a great project -- I'd like to hear more about it as it evolves.

Best,
Fred
