Netwar
Modern netwar is a useful field of study for those engaged in the war of ideas, indigenous versus industrial being a prime example.

As we prepare for the battle over perceptions of the climate change challenge, an understanding of the tools of perception management and media influence is perhaps our most potent weapon.
