The study of the nature and character of the war has probably been the subject of research since the first organized clash between the two opposing groups. My purpose in this paper is to elaborate on specific aspects of evolution of nature and character of war. First, based on the analysis of different theories of study of war and warfare, which includes examination of how warfare has evolved over a long history, analyzing important issues related to evolution of war, consider different considerations specifically what was and is the catalyst for changes in the character of war vs. unchanging nature of war. It is important to analyze the evolution of warfare, regard to revolutions in military affairs and the analysis of four generations of war. Revolutions in the military affairs have analyzed the issue in three directions: technological development, doctrinal innovations, and orga-nizational adaptations, which have been an essential process in light of developments taking place in chronological order throughout the world. Four Generations War Analysis is catalysts for change to understand the real drivers of the generational shift. The discussion of the fourth generation of war leads to the important issue what we today call the dilemmas posed by modern warfare, which brought war into the abstract dimension. Military theorists such as Martin van Creveld, Mary Kaldor, and Max Boot, have analyzed and saw the nature and character of war from a new prism, but to this day abstract nature of war “fog of war” remain unexplained, unresolved issue for modern military theorist

Artykuł przybliża kwestię rosyjskiej wojny hybrydowej przeciwko Ukrainie i jej agresywną strategię manipulowania obrazu Ukrainy na świecie. Autorzy zagłę-bili się w problem ujawniając rosyjską ingerencję w wewnętrzne sprawy Ukra-iny. Autorzy są zdania, iż agresja Rosji popierana jest ideologicznie przez wszystkie kraje tzw. rosyjskiego świata. W artykule podkreślono, że wspomina-ny „rosyjski świat”, ustanowiony na początku XXI w., jest nawiązaniem ideo-wym do tradycji panslawistycznego panowania w Europie. Zdaniem Autorów wojna hybrydowa prowadzona przeciwko Ukrainie od 2014 r. jest wyrazem realizowania idei „rosyjskiego świata”, a agresywna działalność Rosji stanowi zagrożenie dla sąsiednich państw i społeczności międzynarodowej The article discloses Russia’s hybrid warfare against Ukraine and its belliger-ent strategy to manipulate the Russians’ vision of Ukraine. The authors criti-cally delved into the problem of Russia’s justifying its aggression and interfer-ence in the internal affairs of Ukraine. The authors are convinced that Russia’s undeniable aggression was urged by the Russian World’s ideological and polit-ical practices. The authors emphasized that the Russian world, being officially established in early 21st century, developed and adjusted its tradition of pan Slavic domineering, which was propagated so far as in early 19th century. The authors as well as other scholars draw the conclusion that the Russia’s aggres-sion against Ukraine, waged out as a hybrid warfare in 2014 and resulted in the Russian World ideology, which main target is Ukraine, but, what is more important, Russia’s hybrid war poses the threat to both neighboring counties and the international community.

Abstrakt: Mimo iż temat migracji ludności nie jest tematem nowym (występował już w przeszłości) jest zagadnienie aktualnym, gdyż nieprzerwanie tocząca się wojna w Syrii, niestabilna sytuacja w Afryce oraz we wschodniej części Europy nierzadko zmusza mieszkającą tam ludność do opuszczenia swojego miejsca zamieszkania i ucieczki. W artykule znajdujemy odwołanie do współczesnego kryzysu migracyjnego. Przedstawiono podstawowe terminy z zakresu migracji. W celu odpowiedniego wprowadzenia czytelnika w przedstawianą w artykule tematykę, zostały przytoczone różne definicje pojęcia migrant. Zaprezentowane zostały różnice w pojmowaniu takich pojęć jak: migracja, imigracja, emigracja, reemigracja, deportacja, uchodźstwo, repatriacja. Ukazano podstawowe rodzaje migracji, a także wskazano przyczyny i powody skłaniające migrantów do wyjazdu ze swojego kraju pochodzenia. Opisano migracje jako zjawisko, które jest znane od początków ludzkości nawet powody są podobne. Zmienia się jedynie natężenie zjawiska. Artykuł jest również próbą obalenia mitów związanych z zagrożeniem ze strony migrantów. Przedstawiono obawy jakie pojawiają się przy podejmowaniu decyzji o ewentualnym przyjmowaniu migrantów. Ukazano korzyści i ujemne strony wynikające z przyjmowania migrantów. W dalszej część artykułu zostały przedstawione terminy z zakresu terroryzmu. Autor próbuje ukazać wpływ migracji na zagrożenie terroryzmem i na jego wzrost na kontynencie europejskim. Przedstawiono również główne miejsca emigracji Polaków. W Polsce działają organy i instytucje, których głównym zadaniem jest przeciwdziałanie, zapobieganie oraz zwalczanie terroryzmu.

Hybrid wars of the modern times include aggressive economic actions aimed at diminishing the defender’s ability to counteract hostile attempts to achieve various military and political goals. The Russia-Ukraine confrontation delivers a good example of modern economic warfare. This paper reviews its basic methods and demonstrates that economic aggression comprises a very important component of Russia’s hostile strategy towards Ukraine. It also reveals some specific features of the Ukrainian economy that enable the economic aggression of Russia. The tools of economic warfare are presented as direct and indirect ones. Among the results of economic wars for Ukraine the following are emphasized: untying of Ukrainian economy from the Russian one, redirection of foreign trade towards the EU and Asia, acceleration of structural and economic reforms.

Today, Europe is a very dynamic area in which various processes of political, economic, military, and socio-cultural nature occur. One of these processes concerns the establishment in 2015 of the Three Seas Initiative, integrating the area of the countries that joined the European Community after 2004 with one exception, which is Austria, which belongs to the group of the so-called ‘Old Union’. The emergence of a new structure within the European Union has been negated from the very beginning by the most important entities in Europe and beyond because the Russian Federation also did not approve the establishment of the Three Seas Initiative, perceiving it as a direct threat to the implementation of its neo-imperial policy in Central and Eastern Europe. Nevertheless, the establishment of the Three Seas initiative was dictated by many factors of historical, political, economic, and military nature. This article presents the issues related to the process of shaping the subjectivity of Central and Eastern European countries in the context of contemporary challenges caused by the economic crisis and the potential danger of the Russian Federation, which aims is to destabilize this region and pull it back into its sphere of influence. The role which played the Three Seas Initiative within the European Union is an issue that requires constructive analysis. This is possible by indicating the main reasons for establishing this structure and international processes that are implications of its functioning.

There has been established and promoted the strong belief in the Georgian public, however also in the international community, that despite significant human, territorial and state loss, as well as psychological damage and failure Georgia experienced as a consequence of the 2008 conflict with Russia, the smaller country gained victory over the bigger one in terms of the information war. There is attempt in the paper to find out if the above-mentioned view has been argumented sufficiently, taking into consideration two major factors: 1. The EU-backed “Report of the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on the Conflict in Georgia,” known informally as the “Tagliavini Report”, blaming Georgian former government of Mikheil Saakashvili „to fire the first shot” in the subsequent confrontation; 2. The smaller nation-state syndrome as of the victim in the conflictual interaction with the bigger one, playing important role not only in the Russian-Georgian, but also Georgian-Abkhazian and Georgian-Ossetian relations.

After transformation of unipolarity and reformatting world order system, a question been forwarded on how new system is to be founded on. As it is known classical international relations system developed since Westphalia Agreement of 1648 has been composed mainly by the state as key actors of international politics. The system has been developed two type of regimes: soft bipolarity and balance of power interchanged in several period of time consequently. One of the characteristic features of globalization is a fundamental change of the international system and world order. It differs from the world of post-Cold War period with the stance of different actors of international relations on each other as well as with the forms of sharing power and that of interconnections. In that context there were four phases of the international relations systems: the system of Westphalia, the system of Vienna, the system of Versailles, the system of Yalta-Potsdam and later international relations were transformed into bipolarity one. Since demolishing classical Cold War order and entering into new epoch of anarchic scenario, the states as key actors of the system have been diminishing in favour of so-called “nonstate actors”. However, in the international system of the 21st century, the nationstate still has particular functions. It represents the dominant element of the world politics which can influence the behaviour of the population and non-state actors.

As it is known\u0000classical international relations system developed since Westphalia Agreement\u0000of 1648 has been composed mainly by the state as key actors of international politics.\u0000The system has been developed two type of regimes: soft bipolarity and balance\u0000of power interchanged in several period of time consequently. One of the\u0000characteristic features of globalization is a fundamental change of the international\u0000system and world order. It differs from the world of post-Cold War period with the\u0000stance of different actors of international relations on each other as well as with the\u0000forms of sharing power and that of interconnections. In that context there were four\u0000phases of the international relations systems: the system of Westphalia, the system\u0000of Vienna, the system of Versailles, the system of Yalta-Potsdam and later\u0000international relations were transformed into bipolarity one. Since demolishing\u0000classical Cold War order and entering into new epoch of anarchic scenario, the\u0000states as key actors of the system have been diminishing in favour of so-called “nonstate actors”. However, in the international system of the 21st century, the nationstate still has particular functions. It represents the dominant element of the world\u0000politics which can influence the behaviour of the population and non-state actors.","PeriodicalId":256788,"journal":{"name":"Ante Portas - Studia nad bezpieczeństwem","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131297855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
