By analyzing 464 documented wars since 1816, it contrasts conventional and irregular warfare through an economic, civic, political, paramilitary, and psychological lens. The study highlights the consequences of cultural divergence on trust-building mechanisms—demonstrating how a lack of convergence can lead to a breakdown in cooperation and strategy effectiveness. It presents foundational insights for military and civic leaders in fostering trust in complex conflict environments.
