Hybrid Warfare

Abstract

As NATO systematically addresses new hybrid challenges, the alliance identifies the urgent need of collaborative actions and argues whether hybrid warfare might be beneficial for strategists and decision makers in outlining future plans to deal with the hybrid threats that can emerge from nowhere in our reality. This chapter will review the hybrid warfare not only as the unique combinational threats created particularly to defeat an adversary but also a contemporary feature of global politics which are mostly associated with non-state actors (such as terrorist groups) and also will highlight the aspects that cause asymmetric conflicts.
