Evolucioni i konflikteve dhe paradigma e re e gjeneratave të luftës
The Evolution of Conflicts and the new paradigm of war generation

Summary/Abstract: The fourth generation warfare is obviously one of the most debated theories in several books and studies. It is based on conflicts, preferred by non –state actors and is characterized by a mixture of war and politics, military army and civil, issues of peace, conflict and security processes. 4GW was first introduced by the military historian William Lind, in 1989 and it is considered as one of the “greatest ideas “or “greatest forecasts” in the contemporary strategic discourse. It has two main perspectives. Firstly, according to this theory creates a distance with the legacy of the Klausevitzit’s doctrine on “War trinity” that limits the war discourse within states, which seems not to be identifying for the modern conflicts. The second perspective lies on the idea that states with their well-trained army to fight conventionally among states are going to be challenges by this new paradigm. Even though it did not earn that much of attention, this theory has gained some relevance after the assaults in 11th September. States have failed in preventing and later on winning the conflict and non-national actors, including terrorist groups are still active. Being faced with such a situation, our country is vulnerable to possible attacks and methods appeared in 4GW. Security structures are still organized based on the concept of confrontation and victory among states. In these conditions, security structures have to get acquainted with a new war scheme and attitude, as a precaution for the future.
