Fortis Novum Mundum Announces the Release of “Democratizing Violence: The Rise of Open-Source Warfare and the Decline of State Control”
What happens when warfare becomes as accessible as a software download? “Democratizing Violence” explores the ethical, strategic, and global security dilemmas posed by the democratization of violence, challenging policymakers, military leaders, and security analysts to rethink global stability.
"For centuries, states held a monopoly on the instruments of war. That era is ending. We now live in a world where a well-funded insurgent group or even a single individual can access advanced weaponry, fund their operations with untraceable cryptocurrency, and execute cyberattacks on national infrastructure—all from a laptop. This book examines the security challenges that come with that shift."
Fortis Novum Mundum is thrilled to announce the release of “Democratizing Violence” a deeply researched and provocative analysis of how 3D-printed firearms, cyber warfare, ransomware-funded insurgencies, and dark web arms markets are breaking the traditional state monopoly on force.
This timely and provocative work delivers an urgent and eye-opening investigation into the rapid decentralization of military power, revealing how insurgents, criminals, and lone actors are leveraging open-source technology, cryptocurrency, and encrypted communication tools to wage war in ways that were once exclusive to nation-states. From 3D-printed guns to AI-poweredcyberattacks and terrorist financing through Bitcoin, “Democratizing Violence” presents an in-depth look at how modern conflict is being reshaped outside traditional military and regulatory frameworks.
Key Themes Explored
✔️ 3D-Printed Firearms – With weapons like the FGC-9 freely available online, individuals no longer need traditional arms dealers. This book reveals how open-source blueprints are fueling insurgencies, criminal enterprises, and lone actors seeking to bypass gun laws.
✔️ The Rise of Crypto-Funded Insurgencies – Terrorist groups and militias no longer rely on state sponsorship—they now fund operations through Bitcoin, ransomware attacks, and dark web fundraising campaigns. “Democratizing Violence” details how cryptocurrencies have become key enablers of modern insurgencies.
✔️ Hacking, Drones, and Cyberwarfare – “Democratizing Violence” explores how hacking tools, commercial drones, and digital black markets allow insurgents, cybercriminals, and militant groups to disrupt states, cripple infrastructure, and wage digital war without a physical army.
✔️ The Dark Web’s Global Arms Bazaar – Weapons trafficking has shifted from traditional smuggling networks to dark web marketplaces, where encrypted transactions and decentralized manufacturing are making arms control virtually impossible.
Drawing from real-world case studies, “Democratizing Violence” examines how warfare has become decentralized, unpredictable, and harder to regulate. This book raises urgent questions: How can states adapt to these emerging threats? Can laws and international regulations keep pace with the speed of technological innovation? And what does the future of warfare look like when the power to wage war is no longer centralized?
