Today, in international relations, we have a global realignment characterized by conflicts between leading actors on the international stage.
Uneven economic development, the imperialist pretensions of great powers (such as the USA, Russia), terrorist attacks in Europe, and wars in the Middle East (primarily in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan) have led to the creation of complex and intricate political relations between states. Such complex military-political relations in the world have brought hybrid wars to the scene. Hybrid wars can be waged by state and non-state actors.
The basis of the concept of hybrid warfare lies in subversion.
Subversive activities represent specific forms of manifestation of force in international relations. In the final part of the paper, the author concludes that the increasing role of hybrid wars in achieving the geopolitical goals of the opposing sides means that a different approach is needed when creating a strategy for dealing with hybrid threats (each nation-state needs to create such a strategy).
Given that hybrid warfare targets essential and vulnerable components of society, a preventive component needs to be developed in the fight against hybrid threats.
The essence of subversive activities is to undertake various types of psychological-propaganda, and similar destructive activities, with the aim of destabilizing the state over which someone wants to establish or maintain dominance. Covert subversive activity today represents a major dimension of hybrid warfare.
In preparing the content of the paper, the author will apply the general scientific methods: the descriptive method, the normative method, the comparative method and the content analysis method as a special scientific method.
Keywords: hybrid threat, hybrid warfare, subversive activity, unconventional actions
