Abstract
Hybrid Warfare is nothing new but it has increasingly made the news - even if most of it remains beyond our awareness. Hybrid Warfare gathers all methods through which countries wage war against each other beyond traditional military, diplomatic and economic battlefields (cyber attacks, disinformation, transnational organized crime, appropriation of natural resources, lawfare, corruption, etc.). Such below-the-surface foreign aggressions are not limited to localized regions where armed forces shoot at each other trying to take each other’s positions. In hybrid warfare, society as a whole is the battlefield. In other words, hybrid warfare is not the concern of a few, but should concern all of us.
Dedicated to non-military people, the book explains what Hybrid Warfare is and offers 12 case studies, stories that aim to enlighten the general public and serve as pedagogical tools in classrooms all around the globe. It casts a negotiation and conflict management light on hybrid warfare and invites awareness and perspective on the State of our world.
