Hybrid Warfare Reference Curriculum Volume II: Elective Seminars
Absztrakt
The second volume offers a selection of topics suggested for elective seminars on the subject matter, providing its readers with practical knowledge for understanding the hybrid phenomenon and its practices. This textbook highlights the different tools and approaches on hybrid warfare, and provides for case studies and methodology, as well. Russia, a par excellence user and inventor of hybrid warfare means and tools, appears in many of this book’s chapters. The role of proxy wars is also introduced and analysed together with the questions of biosecurity, chemical, biological and nuclear warfare. The book introduces the establishment and functioning of the European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats and puts emphasis on the methodology analysing the most representative conceptual models for understanding the framework of hybrid threats, and the adversary’s strategies, operations and tactics. Today, citizens are organised worldwide through virtual networks that consume, produce and spread information at an incomprehensible speed. The fragility and underlying dangers inherent in this phenomenon are also examined, pointing out the “blurring boundaries between the real and the virtual” and the possibility for mass manipulation and other forms of digital hybrid warfare. Most of the chapters provide an excellent basis for thought-provoking debates and group exercises entailing creative and innovative thinking.
